Overview

A relatively easy walk in the Brecon Beacons with one gentle climb up to the trig point.

From the Visitor Centre, we cross Mynydd Illtud, with stunning mountain views in all directions.

We will have a short coffee stop, taking in the views from Allt Lom.

Then we make our way to the trig point at Twyn y Gaer for lunch.
From there we will be overlooking the beautiful Usk Valley.
