Brecon Beacons mountain weekend

The Brecon Beacons (or Bannau Brycheiniog as the park is now formally known) cover 500 square miles of southern Wales. Pen y Fan is the tallest, but the most dramatic landscape is the waterfall country in the south-west around Ystradfellte. Two days lets you summit Pen y Fan on day one and walk the Four Waterfalls trail on day two.
