(Welcome to Wales)


 

Hello everyone, 
My name is Bill and these are my Pages of

"Walking in the Brecon Beacons".


PLEASE NOTE: -

Through retirement, health & family reasons as of December 2009 I have moved from this lovely area of Wales.
Because of this I will not be able to update this site as I would like.

Therefore, if anyone following my favourite routes around the BRECON BEACONS NATIONAL PARK should happen to find any discrepancies I would very much appreciate it if they would email me with any information for updating.

Thank You

Regards to all and thanks to all those Walkers that have used this website and emailed me in the past.

BEST WISHES & SAFE WALKING FOR 2010 AND BEYOND

I have enjoyed Fell walking for many years. More than I care to think about! 

I have been living in Brecon for the past 19 years, enjoying the exhilaration of walking in the Beacons National park.

Over these years I have built up a record of my own favourite walks and I thought it was about time I started to share a few of these routes with others.

If you do follow through any of the routes that I have placed in the following pages, I would very much like to hear your comments.

Waterfalls

 

There are many waterfalls hidden among valleys of Fforest Fawr. This is to the South West of Brecon.

While other more, easily accessibe waterfalls, are in the area near Tal-y-Bont on Usk, about 7 miles South East of Brecon.
