Whether it’s archaeology, mountains, watersports, railways or galleries and museums that interest you, your activities won’t be limited around this area of land. First off, for the Brecon Beacons' bread and butter mountains, all the big ones are not too far off – that includes Pen y Fan (50 minutes’ drive), Waun Fach (an hour and 55 minutes), Fan Brycheiniog (55 minutes) and Llyn y Fan Fach (40 minutes). For mountains, moorlands, woods and meadows all in one, there’s the Fforest Fawr Geopark (50 minutes), and for everything water-based, the Llangorse Lake (55 minutes) and Llangorse Multi Activity Centre, (55 minutes). With all sorts of kid-friendly places, from the Brecon Mountain Railway (an hour and five minutes) to the Cantref Adventure Farm (50 minutes), families won’t feel left out at all. But it’s not all about the mountains… for history, there’s Carreg Cennen Castle (40 minutes), Dinefwr Castle (35 minutes), and Llandovery Castle (15 minutes) or the Llandovery Museum and Visitor Gateway (15 minutes) and Y Gaer Museum, Art Gallery & Library (45 minutes)… archaeology-wise, the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (45 minutes)… and with impressive glasshouses and plant collections, National Botanic Garden of Wales (45 minutes) to the south-west.
