Description

Discover the untamed beauty of Pen y Fan, the highest peak in Southern Britain, with our exclusive private hike through the Brecon Beacons in Wales. This immersive 11-kilometer adventure takes you along hidden footpaths and less-traveled tracks, offering breathtaking views and unforgettable climbs to the summit.

Your journey begins by tracing the River Taff to its source—a peaceful route where you may get your boots wet but will almost certainly have the trail to yourself. The ascent continues to Corn Du and then Pen y Fan, where panoramic vistas reach as far as Devon, Somerset, and, on a clear day, Cadair Idris.

Along the way, you'll uncover the fascinating fossil beach and capture Instagram-worthy photos. After the summit, get ready for a playful descent as you slide down steep slopes, enjoying the solitude and fun that comes with a private guided experience. You’ll also explore the mystical Llyn Cwm Llwch and learn the moving story of Tommy Jones at his memorial.

The hike concludes with a final push up Yr Gyrn before descending back to the starting point. While Pen y Fan often attracts crowds, our carefully chosen paths remain quiet, especially during midweek, ensuring a serene and personal connection to this Welsh icon.

Transport from Cardiff or other South Wales locations may be available upon request for an additional fee. The hike runs rain or shine and involves 600 meters of ascent, mostly at a gentle pace. Please be prepared for changing weather and a moderately challenging route. Book your spot now to experience the secrets of Pen y Fan before the trails fill up!
