At just under 3,000 feet, this is the highest mountain in South Wales and the jewel in the crown that is the Brecon Beacons National Park.
The paths have been much improved since I last climbed Pen y Fan 25 years ago! If you're just looking for a straightforward there and back route the shortest option is from the Pont ar Daf car park on the A470 where there are toilets and refreshments. From here the path is now excellent all the way up to the top and you can take in the summit of Corn Du (873m) as well before reaching the highest point of Pen y Fan at 886m. It's a challenging climb but steady and not super strenuous. If you stick to the main path there are no narrow ledges and there's no scrambling involved. Also as the starting point is already at 430m the ascent is less than you might expect. This route is very popular though so it is likely to be busy and if you want to avoid the crowds choose a different option! Obviously try to go on a clear day, but even when it's not so good it's still a great walk and very exhilarating. It's a serious mountain though so be prepared. Check the forecast, wear walking boots and take waterproofs and an extra layer of clothing even if it's sunny and warm in the car park. It sounds overkill but the weather can change very quickly and catch you out. If the cloud comes down the visibility can drop to near zero and it's surprisingly easy to get disorientated.

Walk behind the falls Ive walked here numerous times taking new people for a wonderful experience. After heavy rain it is spectacular. Be warned it can be very slippery and twice the rocks behind the falls were frozen which meant we had to walk through the river to continue our loop walk. Not needed if you return along your access route. This is not somewhere you should walk without a reasonable level of fitness. North access involves numerous steep steps. Southern access is easier. When water levels are high access behind the falls is slippery and awkward .

Trail riding on beautiful Welsh cobs across the Brecon Beacons and beyond. We offer day rides, short breaks and longer trail riding breaks across Wales.
Rosie was DELIGHTFUL, got the measure of us really quickly and we had great rapport throughout. The horses were suitably interesting - not just plodding around, but also really safe and sturdy over some quite dodgy cliffs. Such spectacular views and a total delight. Really worth every penny. Couldn't recommend more.

We are a education, conservation and outdoor activity business based in the stunning Brecon Beacons National Park. We fly eagles, vultures, hawks, falcons and owls with the general public. Wings Of Wales has was established in 2015 by conservation photographer and bird of prey handler Lewis Phillips. He has been working in conservation, educating the public and flying birds for over ten years. Lewis has worked alongside many different conservation trusts in Britain and other countries around the world. We aspire to teach people about real issues that affect birds of prey in the wild. Our other aims are to encourage education on habitat management and the politics that can affect birds of prey. But more than all of that we want you to have as much fun as possible with us while you are flying our birds of prey in the stunning countryside of Wales. Our location is Penderyn, in the Brecon Beacons national park.

I’ve just returned from a wonderful weekend ride where we covered over 50 miles of the stunning welsh hills. The scenery and riding is spectacular; as are the horses. The horses are so well cared for-they are super fit, well schooled, safe and sure footed. Often with these kind of trips the horses can be overworked, seen as machines or horses will just follow each other nose to tail-none of which is enjoyable or acceptable. But these horses are top notch and I think that sets Ellesmere apart. The guides, Georgie and Pip, and Julie who looks after the horses at the yard, were also fantastic. A huge and special thanks to Myfanwy, the dedicated and passionate owner who arranged everything for us; including picking out the most suitable horse for each each individual, arranging our stays in lovely b&bs and booking our delicious dinners in the local pubs. I’ve been on a few day rides with other establishments in over the years, but I now wouldn’t go any where else and I’ve recommended Ellesmere to every horsey person I know. Looking forward to visiting again next year!
