This Pathfinder Guide is the ideal companion for country walks on the Brecon Beacons. Clear and easy-to-follow directions are accompanied by detailed maps from Ordnance Survey, and specially commissioned photographs.

With 28 colour-coded routes to choose from, all tried and tested by seasoned walkers, and varying from extended strolls to exhilarating hikes, there is a walk to suit everyone.

Within the boundaries of the Brecon Beacons National Park there are four separate mountain ranges, including the Black Mountains as well as the Beacons themselves. Most of the area is underlain by old red sandstone, which distinguishes it from the more rugged mountains of North Wales, and several walks explore this terrain of smooth, sweeping grassy uplands and wide, open vistas, including the Brecon Beacons Horseshoe.

Two outstanding castles are incorporated in the routes - Carreg Cennen and Caerphilly, as well as the Augustinian priory at Llanthony. By extending some walks to the south of the mountains, in the valleys, vale and coast of Glamorgan (including Llantwit Major and the Heritage Coast), the scope of scenic and historic attractions is extended. And, in view of the industrial heritage of the former mining valleys, the countryside in surprisingly unspoilt, as walkers will find at Llangattock and at St Hilary, with its medieval church and thatched pub.
