Explore 28 beautiful walks across Brecon Beacons with the OS Pathfinder Guidebooks, graded by length and ranging from 3 ½ to 9 miles. The Brecon Beacons National Park contains four separate mountain ranges including the Black Mountains and the Beacons themselves. Most of the area is underlain by old red sandstone, unlike the more rugged mountains of North Wales.

The Brecon Beacons National Park stretches from the English border to the Tywi valley in Carmarthenshire, a distance of nearly 50 miles, covering an area of 520 square miles. This swathe of southern Wales is divided into four distinct areas of high ground by the rivers Usk, Taf and Tawe. These rivers, here in their enthusiastic infancy, descend to meet the salt water of the Bristol Channel by the three great cities of the south, Newport, Cardiff and Swansea respectively.

This pocket-sized guide features 20 circular routes between 6.8 and 16.5 miles (11 and 16.6 kilometres) in length, suitable for hill walkers of all abilities. The routes are split into four areas – Blorenge & The Black Mountains, The Brecon Beacons, Mynydd Llangatwg & Mynydd Llangynidr, and Fforest Fawr and The Black Mountain.
