Brecon Beacons National park covers approximately 520 square miles and stretches from Swansea in the west to the border with England in the east. Designated a National Park in 1957 the Brecon Beacons is a beautiful area of Wales with rolling countryside, waterfalls, reservoirs, caves and mountains. Welsh Mountain ponies roam freely and the once endangered Red Kite now thrives in the skies above.

In the western half of the park is the Fforest Fawr Geopark – one of the four mountain ranges within the park, the others being The Black mountain (to the west), the Brecon Beacons and (confusingly) The Back Mountains on the Eastern border with England. Pen y Fan at 886 metres is the highest point in the Brecon Beacons and has a distinctive flat top which was used as a burial ground in the Bronze age.
The Monmouthshire and Brecon canal once used to transport goods between Brecon and Newport but is now a quiet waterway with lots of leisure boats and pleasant canal tow path walks. The Dan-yr-Ogof caves are well worth a visit and the visitor can take a guided tour of two of the large caves within this spectacular labyrinth.
