Groupon’s Guide To Brecon Beacons National Park

From the ancient limestone caves to the grand Pen y Fan and Cribyn peaks, Brecon Beacons National Park provides visitors with a suitable place to enjoy an active holiday in the middle of nature.

In the heather-clad mountains of the Brecon Beacons, travellers may enjoy scenic walking routes, mountain biking and horse riding trails, while characterful towns, pubs and farmers’ markets are also on hand for shopping and dining opportunities. The park is also home to the ruins of many ancient fortresses such as Carreg Cennen, and the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal where boat trips and canoe hires allow ramblers to take to the water. On clear nights, travellers may have a privileged view of distant planets or meteor showers with frequent star gazing events organised by the National Park Authority.
