OVERVIEW

Bannau Brycheiniog is a mountain region in southern Wales, with open ridges, glacial valleys, reservoirs and farming communities spread across several distinct ranges. The central peaks attract most walkers, while the western uplands, waterfalls and eastern Black Mountains offer quieter landscapes. Market towns and villages provide practical bases around the park’s edges.

Walking ranges from short riverside routes to exposed mountain ascents, and weather can change quickly above the valleys. The region is spread across several distinct areas, so choosing a base near the intended walks or attractions is more practical than trying to cover everything from one point.
