Since its inception numerous walkers have enjoyed the route, taking in the breath-taking vistas that it offers.

It is a challenging route, but well within the reaches of a fit and competent hill walker. Demanding uphill climbs and undulating ridges give spectacular views of the National Park, its varied landscapes and its wildlife.
The trail often goes off the beaten track taking routes into back country not usually explored by the average walker. The route has limited waymarking, especially on open hill and moorland sections, meaning navigation skills will be required, but the rewards are great — new vistas and new experiences are awaiting the explorer prepared to put in the effort.
Day lengths vary from 16 to This is particularly true in the west where accommodation is much scarcer and the use of taxis or public transport may be needed.

Our Ranger team talk about their achievements so far and the challenges of maintaining these footpaths from year to year. One of our most important farms for its conservation value, Berthlwyd is home to truly wonderful wildflower hay meadows.
Traditional farming methods mean that each spring the fields burst into an array of vivid colour and support a huge variety of wildlife. A precious and increasingly rare habitat, our semi-ancient woodlands are a haven for wildlife.
Clinging on at the foot of the Brecon Beacons, these trees have lived for hundreds of years and are home to rare fungi and invertebrates dependent on them for their survival. The tragic tale of a little boy who lost his way in the Brecon Beacons at the beginning of the last century, touched an entire community and continues to be passed down from generation to generation. This isolated yet beautiful upland farm sits at the top of the Nedd valley and has been home to the same family for six generations.
But the history of this wonderful place stretches back much further than you might imagine and is full of surprises, both historical and geological. The Brecon Beacons offer a spectacular landscape rich in natural beauty. Free from light and noise pollution it's the perfect respite from the chaos of modern life.
Whether you're seeking challenging walks, wide open spaces or secluded waterfalls, the Brecon Beacons provides the best of them all. From Fan y Big looking west towards the Beacons you can get the most stunning views in the whole area.
You can also be sure to miss the crowds on this less-visited peak. Nearby Cwm Sere, Cwm Oergwm and Cwm Cynwyn are beautiful and serenely quiet glaciated valleys nestled at the feet of the central Beacons.
The terrain is much less challenging but the views are equally impressive. There are plenty of meandering walks through ancient woodland, where you can enjoy views of Craig Cerrig Gleisiad, Fan Frynach and the central Beacons.
