Brecon Beacons Pathfinder Guidebook

Description

This Brecon Beacons Pathfinder Guidebook describes 28 outstanding circular walks that range from extended strolls to exhilarating hikes, so there is something for everyone. Each route includes a detailed description, the Ordnance Survey map for the route at a scale of 1:25,000, GPS waypoints, plus key historical and landscape features.

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. Several walks explore this terrain of smooth, sweeping grassy uplands and wide, open vistas, including the Brecon Beacons Horseshoe. You can also explorer the watery peacefulness of Llangors Lake, the mountainous challenge of Fan y Big, walk behind the spectacular Sgwd yr Eira falls, visit the reclusive Llanthony Priory and drink in magnificent views over Abergavenny from the Blorenge.
