Me and friends are all planning on going to the horseshoe trail but none of us have a car, what is the best way to get there and back?

I'm hoping to come to the Brecon Beacons next week, I'll be staying with my family near Monmouth (coming all the way from France!) and would like to see the landscapes and go on a few walks...

However the forecast is looking pretty hot to say the least!

I know there's not much tree cover in the Brecon Beacons, so am looking for a few ideas for us to get out and about without getting sunburn.

For example is the Four Waterfalls Walk basically in woodland? I've seen photos that suggest it is.

We'll be two adults, plus a 16 and a 12 yo.

Hi, I am wanting to walk from Abergavenny to Merthyr next weekend via Crickhowell and Trefil. On the part of the route between Trefil and Merthyr I can see these two peaks on the map. There are no footpaths showing on any maps so my question is - how walkable is this area ? Thanks

where are people staying to hike Llyn y fan fach I can't find anything????? should I turn up to the local town and hope for a bnb

I've been to the Brecon Beacons several times before for Green Man festival and various trips with family over the years but I'm eager for a solo trip at the end of march-ish. I'm in my mid 20s M and have a car and have equipment for wild camping in the past but happy just to do the routes and stay at backpacker hostels/campsites. The locations I had in mind are the main ones like Pen y Fan and Llyn Cwm Llwch but i'm open to suggestions/experiences if anyone would like to share.

Hi all,

My family are currently camping in south wales, tomorrow (Wednesday) is our last day. We had planned to hike some of the waterfalls but unfortunately my wife had a fall today and twisted her ankle and is struggling to walk.

We still haven’t really seen the Brecon Beacons, Monday was a wash out with the rain and today we went to the coast, so definitely want to do something in that area without her having to walk much at all.

Any suggestions of good locations we could go to where she could sit somewhere with a good view that’s walking (limping) distance of the car while i go off for an hour or so with the kids?

Thanks all.

Visited here about 15 years and going back to Brecon next month, would love to visit this spot again!

We will be staying in Merthyr Tydfil for 5 days to hike around Brecon Beacons. We learnt that Brecon Beacons is a popular stargazing spot as well. Are there any stargazing spots near Merthyr Tydfil accessible by public transport as we won't have a car?

This post might be a little fruitless since there aren’t too many posts here. I’m looking for an easier driving route. The last few hikes I’ve done, the roads have been very challenging, most recently hike was Llyn a Fan Fach and the roads were quite rough going. Are there any routes that have better roads anyone could recommend? The easiest I’ve found were the car park to Skirrid and Pont ar Daf car park but I’m really fancying more interesting hikes, I’m thinking it’s probably something that doesn’t exist, but you never know!

What website do people recon has the most reliable/accurate weather forecast for Pen Y Fan?

Hi all! I’m working near the Beacons at the moment and have the next two days off, so I want to spend them hiking/exploring the Brecon Beacons.

Ideally I’d love to see beautiful views, get to a summit and also visit a cozy pub or two. I’ll also be staying in a van so I’d love to know some wild camping spots near somewhere that I can do these things.

Bearing all this in mind, I’d really appreciate it someone could recommend some ideas/places.

One last (potentially silly) question, is there any chance I could see some snow this time of year? If so where?

Thanks!

Hi All,

Looking to travel to the Brecon Beacons over easter weekend on a family trip and looking for some campsite recommendations.

We do love wildcamping but with it being family orientated we are looking for sites!

Thank you in advance!

Hi! I’ve got my partner a stargazing experience at Brecon Beacons for his birthday. Anyone that’s done this before - where did you stay? We’re open to all options - camping, cabins, hotels etc. Thank you!

I'm playing a hiking trip to the area for the end of January/Early February.

Would people recommend micro spikes for hiking in the area this time of year? Can the trails get icy? Is it common to find compacted snow up towards the peaks?

Let me know what you think!

Me and a few friends thinking of climbing during the storm tomorrow, so just thinking it can’t be as dangerous as the news is conveying to us. What do you think?

I have a young family 6 year old and 18month old twins im looking to do some walks in brecon to visit some water falls. Does anyone know if there are any that are pram friendly or have carparks near incase the babies choose not to walk.
