Each walk entry begins with at-a-glance details of distance, time,
terrain, parking, and public transport access where available. Clear
route-finding instructions are provided together with simple overview
coloured sketch maps, but OS Explorer map sheet numbers are also
provided. The text also includes brief notes on features of interest
along the way and there are colour photographs throughout.
The Brecon Beacons National Park (Bannau Brycheiniog National Park) is
home to some of the most spectacular mountain and moorland scenery in
Britain. Bridging South and Mid Wales, the park can be divided into
three distinct upland areas, with the central flat-topped peaks of the
Brecon Beacons massif sandwiched by the rolling ridges of the Black
Mountains in the east and the similarly named, but quite different Black
Mountain region in the west.
As well as being packet full of standing
stones, castles, wildlife and waterfalls, the park is also home to the
Fforest Fawr UNESCO Global Geopark and is recognised as an international
Dark Sky Reserve.
