BRECON BEACONS

Exploration of the Brecon Beacons National Parks

The Brecon Beacons are one of four ranges of mountains and hills in South Wales which make up the Brecon Beacons National Park. The National Park was established in 1957, the third of the three Welsh parks after Snowdonia in 1951 and the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in 1952.

“lovely the woods, waters, meadows, combes, vales. All the air things wear that build this world of Wales.”
