Itinerary Highlights

Enjoy the Brecon Beacons on our carefully selected guided walks.
Easier Walks: Some of the area’s best local walks follow the pastoral valley of the River Usk, either beside the river itself or along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. We can also use part of the Offa’s Dyke Path to reach the book town of Hay-on-Wye, enjoy walks to the medieval Tretower Court and the magnificent Crickhowell Bridge, or discover the mighty waterfalls of the Mellte Valley.
Medium Walks: The medium walks offer a great variety of scenery and terrain. Options include using the old Roman road through the Brecon Beacons, or walks along the unspoilt ridges of the Black Mountains. Other highlights include an ascent to the top of Pen y Fan, the highest point in the national park, and the dramatic path behind the cascading torrent of the Sgwd yr Eira waterfall. We could breathe in the Iron Age atmosphere on Table Mountain or enter the gaping entrance to Porth yr Ogof Cave.
Harder Walks: The summits of Corn Du, Cribyn and Pen y Fan, at the heart of the Brecon Beacons, are obvious targets for the harder walks, with their superb views right across south Wales. Elsewhere the long grassy ridges of the Black Mountains offer many enjoyable high-level walks, as do the summits of Fan Brycheiniog and Fan Fawr and the distinctive summit of Sugar Loaf, overlooking Abergavenny and the Vale of Usk.
