Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons) is a mountain range in South Wales. In a narrow sense, the name refers to the range of Old Red Sandstone peaks popular with walkers which lie to the south of Brecon. Sometimes referred to as "the central Beacons" they include South Wales' highest mountain, Pen y Fan. The range forms the central section of the Brecon Beacons National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog), a designation which also encompasses ranges both to the east and the west of "the central Beacons". This much wider area is also commonly referred to as "the Brecon Beacons".
NNAS Silver Award Day 2. Group of 1 other. Parked at the Forest Lodge and followed the path all the way round until we entered that valley. Amazing little spot we followed the stream all the way up the re-entrant until the waterfall. From there Chris took a bearing to the Trig point. Followed the path down towards the cairn the down the Twyn-Dyluan-ddu back down the the Forest Lodge. Great day out and pleased to say Chris passed. GPS reset just before the end of the route.
