Spring Break menu - The Brecon Beacons

Tour 1 Energetic Hill Walking

Our walk will take us along the escarpment of the sandstone Brecon Beacons including Pen-Y-Fan, the 2,906' highest mountain in southern Britain. Walking from the northern side of the hills, we will include two ridges that give great views and strenuous walking. This is a British classic of hill walking.

Distance : 10 miles / 17 km

Ascent: 3,000' / 900 m

Tour 2 - A walking and driven tour around The Waterfall Country

The south of the Brecon Beacons National Park comprises the Fforest Fawr Geopark and spectacular limestone and sandstone rock formations that form a series of immense waterfalls. Spring is one of the best seasons to see these waterfalls - there is little leaf cover to obscure the views while the rivers are still discharging the winter's rain and snowmelt. Our tour will circumnavigate the area and give a number of opportunities to visit some of the very best of our waterfalls including Sgwd-Yr-Eira (the Spout of Snow) and Sgwd Gwladys (St Gladys' Falls).

Walking can be energetic depending on clients' wishes and desire to see these memorable waterfalls which can be heard roaring deep in their wooded chasms long before they may be glimpsed.

Tour 3 Around the Brecon Beacons

Our driven tour takes us from Gliffaes on a circular tour of the central Beacons. We may visit the pretty canal side village of Talybont-on-Usk, the Blaen y Glyn waterfalls, the Brecon Mountain steam railwayold iron town of Merthyr Tydfil, the National Park visitor centre and the historical market town of Brecon.

There will be opportunities to travel on the railway or to go for a short sample walk onto the Beacons. The day will fit around you!
