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.
