Le parc national des Brecon Beacons (Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog en gallois) est un parc national britannique promu en 1957 qui couvre une surface de 1 347 km2 en intégrant des vallées, les lacs, forêts, plateaux et sommets des environs. Il constitue l’un des trois parcs du pays de Galles.
Le parc comporte quatre grands massifs : Black Mountain (en), Fforest Fawr (en), les Brecon Beacons au sens strict et les Black Mountains (en) à l'est. Le parc ne compte qu’une ville importante : Brecon.
Le parc est un site touristique important qui propose de nombreuses activités : randonnée, escalade, équitation, courses d'orientation, cyclisme, péniche le long du canal de Monmouth, le musée national de la mine et les anciennes fonderies à Blaenavon et le lac de Llangorse.
Views up on views! How beautiful! From hills / mountains to flat land. Streams, Forrest’s, rivers and a Reservoir. We drove through a lot of the area this weekend and although it was a bit rainy and misty it was still so gorgeous. There was so much beauty in every spot. And so many sheep too that just strut their stuff in front of your cars so be careful. Over all gorgeous, felt so lovely to be there.
Love the Black Mountains. Second time visiting. Even though wet, cloudy and misty, some great views, atmospheric scenery and again enjoyable walks. Love it.
Fabulous but challenging walk around the Horseshoe. 14 mile circular walk taking in 5 summits. Weather kept good. Nice to see all the car parks free of charge and unlike yesterday's Waterfalls walk, no rubbish left on the trails.
It was a tough little walk they say it was the easiest route it's all uphill the views are amazing especially at the top weather changes every 5min recommended
I can't say in words, you need to see yourself, wonder of nature.. Hills after hills, mesmerising sceneries.. Do what you want to do any outdoor activity. I had found a Weird looking mushroom 🍄🍄 on the woods...I think so..may be I'm wrong...
Can get busy at weekend and an early start will ensure a parking space. Did 11 mile "horseshoe" circular starting with Pen-y-Fan ascent. Stunning views on a clear day. Go prepared as the weather dictates, there's nothing up there, not even a phone signal so download your maps in advance. 11 miles / 7 hours / 4133' ascent / max elevation 2887'
