Experience a unique guided day hike along hidden paths to the summit of Pen y Fan in the stunning Brecon Beacons, Wales. Led by expert guide Andy, this adventure covers a classic yet lesser-known route, ensuring you enjoy the breathtaking scenery away from the crowds for a truly memorable day out.
Your journey begins at Pont ar Daf Car Park, where you’ll follow the Taff River to its source. Prepare for some off-the-beaten-track adventures, with the possibility of wet feet, so sturdy walking boots and waterproof socks are highly recommended. The route leads you up steep climbs to Corn Du and the iconic Pen y Fan, where panoramic views and photo opportunities abound.
Andy will take you to discover the hidden fossil beach before descending via exciting, little-used slopes where you might find yourself sliding down on your seat—old waterproof trousers are a great idea! As you explore, Andy shares fascinating local stories and ensures plenty of laughter along the way, making this hike both informative and fun.
The adventure continues as you visit the mysterious Llyn Cwm Llwch and hear about its legends. You'll also pay a visit to the poignant Tommy Jones memorial, learning the true story behind this historic site. The final challenge sees you summiting Yr Gyrn before you return to the starting point, having experienced the very best of the Brecon Beacons' natural beauty.
With a total distance of 11km, a height gain of 600m, and a duration of approximately six hours, a reasonable level of fitness is required. Don’t forget warm layers, waterproofs, and a packed lunch to keep you energized. Spaces are limited, so check availability and secure your spot on this unforgettable Brecon Beacons adventure now!
