Wye Glamping

Take to the paths of the Brecon Beacons National Park and beyond for miles of scenic hikes and hooking up with long distance paths. The Taff Trail goes south from Brecon for 55 miles along the River Taff to Cardiff Bay; the oft-walked Offa’s Dyke Path skirts the eastern side of the national park; and the Beacons Way runs for a full hundred miles across the park. Probably you should not attempt all three on your very first Big Wales Walking Trip. The Brecon Beacons National Park is also where you can lie back and stargaze: it’s a designated Dark Sky Reserve and the Milky Way is visible from here on clear nights. Elsewhere the park has cycle routes, climbing, caving, watersports, over a dozen mountain bike trails, and five mountain bike centres; there are shops and galleries at Abergavenny, and Crickhowell as well as Brecon if the thought of all this outdoor activity is making you feel a bit faint. You’ll find bucketloads of things to do in wet weather too: the award-winning soft play centre Play Barn at nearby Brynach; Brecon’s indoor pool and ten-pin bowling; Brecon Cathedral and the indoor options including climbing, rope bridges and ‘caving’ at the award-winning Llangorse Multi Activity Centre.
