Outdoor Activities
How about a windswept walk before a well deserved hot bath then maybe a visit to a village pub serving local food in front of a log fire? Use the menu on the left to discover the wide range of activities on offer in the National Park.
You can be as adventurous as you like with expert guides available to help if you are less confident or want to learn new skills. There are places to hire or buy equipment if you fancy just having a go, whilst centres at Llangors and Taff Bargoed provide indoor climbing and other activities.
Please follow the Countryside Code wherever you go.
Guided Walks
Alternatively join one of our Guided Walks organised by the National Park Authority.
The Brecon Beacons Park Society also run guided walks.
Self Guided Walks
The National Park Authority is developing a series of self guided walks six of which are now on the shelves of local Information Centres. Selling for just £1 each, they make lovely souvenirs of your visit. Walks available include: The Sugar Loaf from Abergavenny, Llanfoist Wharf from Abergavenny, Pen y Fan and Cribyn from Cwm Gwdi, The Beacons Circuit, Explore Llandovery and Wood of the Waterfalls.
Please do remember to be safe - the rescue services are excellent but they prefer not to be called out!
There is also a booklet of low-level Wildlife Walks designed for families to enjoy around some of the National Park's most hidden gems. National Park Visitor Centres and local Tourist Information Centres all stock a good selection of walking publications to choose from.
The Brecon Beacons Park Society has also developed a selection of six self guided walks which can be printed out for free from their website.
