Brecon Beacons National Park is known for its great natural beauty and endless opportunities for hiking and outdoor adventure activities.

There are many hiking trails in Brecon Beacons and they range from short, easy walks to advanced climbs.

The most popular hike in Brecon Beacons is the summit walk to the mountains of Pen-y-Fan and Corn Du.

Also popular is the Taff Trail, a 77 mile hiking trail that runs from Cardiff in the south to Brecon in the north.

Hiking to waterfalls in Brecon Beacons is another great adventure. The Sgwd-yr-Eira waterfall near Pontneddfechan offers hiking trails that range from a 400 meter flat trail to a small waterfall to more strenuous 5 hour climbs in the mountains.

The best way to get from Cardiff to Brecon Beacons is to drive, as train transport in Wales is limited outside of major cities like Cardiff and Swansea.

Driving from Cardiff to Brecon Beacons only takes 40 minutes. Drive north out of Cardiff along Bute Park and then take the N Rd / A470 highway north until you reach Merthyr Tydfil at the southern end of Brecon Beacons National Park.

Detailed driving directions are here.
