Explore the Brecon Beacons National Park
The Brecon Beacons was designated a National Park in 1957, thanks to its gorgeous, rolling hills, dramatic waterfalls and pretty villages. The Brecon Beacons covers 519 square miles and two thirds of this area is comprised of Old Red Sandstone rocks. They form four distinct blocks of hills which are cut through by major river valleys. The tallest being to Pen y Fan, with its distinctive red table top summit - the highest old Red Sandstone summit in Britain. The landscape is scattered with prehistoric monuments, Roman remains, and medieval castles. There is so much to explore.
In 2005, the National park was awarded membership of the highly prestigious European Geoparks Network for an area within the Brecon Beacons known as "Fforest Fawr Geopark". This covers western half of the National Park. This was followed in 2006 by designation as a UNESCO Global Geopark. Read more...
