Onnenfawr Glamping

The Brecon Beacons beckon with all sorts of spectacular scenery – there’s many a mile of trail to trek along around the national park, taking in such sights as Henrhyd waterfall (20 minutes’ drive) and the mountain paths of Pen y Fan (40 minutes). Mountain biking, climbing and watersports are among the other top picks for active sorts, or you could hike along the three-mile footpath from the site to be rewarded with a meal at a country pub. Not all the stunning sights are above ground though, as you’ll see on a trip to the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (15 minutes); don’t forget to take a quick detour to see the dinosaurs – a cool 200 of the life-sized beasts. A tad beyond that is Craig yr Nos Country Park, where you can gawp at a Gothic-style castle, roam the riverside grounds or saddle up at the riding stables. A stop in Brecon town is worth planning too – it’ll take you 25 minutes or so to drive there to see the cathedral and Regimental Museum of The Royal Welsh or take a stroll by the Brecon Canal.
