Mid Wales and the Brecon Beacons
The Brecon Beacons form part of The Brecon Beacons National Park and cover a large area of Wales from Llandeilo in the west to Pontypool in the east. The Beacons sit in the centre of three main regions: The Black Mountains, Fforest Fawr and again the Black Mountains in the East. The area is a must for intrepid walkers, many choosing to stay in handily located self-catering accommodation. Many allow guests to walk straight out onto miles of moorland footpaths where it is great to let the dogs run free, but be careful to keep an eye out for the Welsh mountain ponies.
