Overview

This walk includes the usual horseshoe circuit of the main Brecon Beacon tops including Pen y Fan, Cribyn and Fan y Big approximately 10.8 miles. However, there will be an option to tackle a less walked section to the east adding about 2.5 miles and some steeper ground making it about 13.3 miles. Be assured we will look after everybody, and no one will be left behind.
