- Activity - Walking In The Brecon Beacons
The Brecon Beacons National Park is a beautiful area with dramatic scenery, varied wild life and an intriguing past. It is a landscape of contrasts with wild, open moor land and water falls, windswept mountains and sheltered valleys, bustling market towns and isolated farmsteads. In this rural area farming dominates the landscape and Welsh cultural traditions are warmly regarded - especially in the west.
- Activity - Walking In The Black Mountains
The Black Mountains lie in the far east of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Sounding as though conjured by Tolkien they are in fact far from foreboding although in places there is no doubt a wild, restless beauty to them. From hilly green grazing fields the land climbs to become open moorland with windswept peaks.
- Activity - Climbing The Sugar Loaf
One of the summit peaks of the Black Mountains, its height is 598 metres and the view from the summit covers the Black Mountains and reaches as far as the Brecon Beacons to the west and the Bristol Channel to the south.
- Activity - Crickhowell Walking Festival
