Covering a vast area of 519 square miles, the Brecon Beacons National Park stretches from Llandeilo in the West to Hay-on-Wye in the East and includes the Black Mountain in the West, the Black Mountains in the East, the Central Beacons in the middle, and the ancient Fforest Fawr. With paths and trails for walking, running, horse riding, and mountain biking. Staying in Brecon Beacons accommodation can bring everyone a sense of adventure. Challenge yourself to hike to the top of Pen y Fan, the highest peak in the Brecon Beacons National Park, or head off to explore some of the lesser trails, such as a walk from the centre of Llandovery along the banks of the Tywi river. With so many trails to choose from, every day can be a new adventure.
Walking and hiking are only part of the picture, though, as the Beacons offer much more than that for those who want to challenge themselves or experience some high-adrenaline fun. Take to the water in a canoe or kayak, with waters suitable for beginners or those with plenty of experience. Not for the faint-hearted, caving is also a popular experience in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Again, there are opportunities for those new to caving and those who have already built up skills. Mountain biking is also hugely popular once bitten by the mountain biking bug. You’ll be off exploring the peaks and trails, combining hairy descents and challenging forest tracks with more gentle rides alongside rivers or streams. It’s a great sport that combines physical and mental agility with endurance, stamina, and tactical decision-making - all while zooming through the most incredible Brecon Beacons landscapes.
