Foraging for a place to burrow down in the Brecon Beacons National Park? Your Brecon Beacons escape will be off to a flying start at Popcorn Camping Brecon. Surrounded by hills and on the outskirts of Brecon, a busy market town, you get the best of both worlds here – it’s an easy drive up into the hills that form the site’s backdrop and just 15 minutes’ walk along the canal to get into the town centre. It's likely you’re here plenty of outdoor action – after all, spectacular views and gorgeous scenery are some of what the Brecon Beacons National Park does so well. Keen hikers and cyclists will be in a dreamscape too, especially given that Pen y Fan and Fan Fawr are both 15 minutes’ drive away. If your dog’s a keen hill climber too, that’s great, because the site accepts dogs too. When you feel like a more peaceful day – perhaps eating your way around Brecon’s pubs, restaurants and cafés or taking a canal cruise from the Brecon Canal Basin, 10 minutes’ walk away - that’s more than okay too. Brecon also has a cathedral, next door to tea rooms and a heritage centre, for those of you interested in sinking your teeth into some local history. If you’re wondering where to source snacks and sandwiches for your packed lunches in the mountains, there are shops in the town too. You might want to scope out the sausage and meat situation while you're at it – since the site permits both firepits and barbecues, there’s the potential for making a splendid little spread in the evening time.

Local attractions

Where to get out and about in the fresh air and fine mountain landscapes? Pen y Fan (15 minutes’ drive) is the highest summit in South Wales, and a fine hike at that, so set off for a two to three hour’s hike and prepare for your bucket list moment. If you’re up for the challenge, The Horseshoe Trail (35 minutes) passes by four peaks, including Pen y Fan, and it's famous for its views down from the spectacular green ridge. While you’re in the outdoorsy spirit, Llangorse Lake (15 minutes) is the destination to get stuck into outdoor activities and watersports such as climbing, windsurfing and horse riding. While Hay-on-Wye (25 minutes) may be well-known for its bookshops and book festival, it’s not just about reading: hire out a canoe and take a paddle down the river Wye too. If you’re wondering what else to seek out, there are waterfalls ready to be tracked down in Pwll y Wrach nature reserve (15 minutes) and in the hills behind Brecon, resides the Pen y Crug, old iron age hillfort (five minutes).
