The highest peaks of the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) National Park include Fan Brycheiniog (802.5m) to the west and Pen y Fan (886m) in the central area. Both mountains have features which have fascinated geologists for years, such as the enchanting glacial lakes of Llyn y Fan Fach and Lyln y Fan Fawr contained within the Black Mountain range.

In the Brecon Beacons a wide range of activities are available for all age groups, this area being particularly renowned for its cycle paths with stunning landscapes. You can also visit natural caves, castles, museums and even old gold mines along with a vast store of cultural heritage.
