The Geopark is set within the Brecon Beacons National Park in south Wales.  It comprises the western half of the National Park, stretching from Llandovery in the north to the edge of Merthyr Tydfil in the south, from Llandeilo in the west to Brecon in the east.

Getting to the Geopark by rail

The closest railway stations are at Llandovery, Llangadog, Llandeilo and Ammanford on the Heart of Wales Railway Line. There is a station at Merthyr Tydfil and also one at Abergavenny on the Hereford to Newport line

Getting here by road is easy! 

The A40 runs from Llandeilo through Llandovery to Brecon along the northern edge of the Geopark.  The A465 'Heads of the Valleys Road' from Abergavenny runs westwards along the southern edge of the Geopark from Merthyr Tydfil to the Vale of Neath.

But why not cycle?

There is a growing network of Sustrans-inspired cycle routes in and around the Geopark.  Check out the National Cycle Network for a healthy and sustainable approach to Fforest Fawr.
