Brecon Beacons : 40 favourite walks

The Brecon Beacons National Park is home to some of the most spectacular mountain and moorland scenary 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 packed 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. The 40 circular routes in the volume cover all the most popular peaks, as well as highlighting some lesser-known gems in one of Britain's best-loved national parks.
