The Brecon Beacon in the raining afternoon
NATIONAL PARK
With mountains and moorland, standing stones and castles, lively waterfalls. National Park is around 42 miles wide. In total, it covers approximately 520 square miles of South and Mid Wales, just west of Herefordshire, and includes parts of Powys, Carmarthenshire, Monmouthshire, Rhondda and Merthyr Tydfil. It gets its name from the Central Beacons, which dominate the skyline south of Brecon. They rise to 886 metres at Pen y Fan, the highest peak in southern Britain. Blaenavon is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They’re so unique that a large part of our National Park has been designated a European and Global Geopark.
