  • GUIDED WALKS and EVENTS SPRING 2019 (March-May)
    GUIDED WALKS & EVENTS SPRING 2019 Cymdeithas Parc Bannau Brycheiniog Brecon Beacons Park Society www.breconbeaconsparksociety.org GUIDED WALKS AND EVENTS SPRING 2019 (March-May) Most of these walks go into the hills. Participants are reminded that the following gear must be taken. Walking boots, rucksack, hats, gloves, warm clothing (not jeans), spare fleece, water and a hot drink, lunch, extra food and of course waterproof jackets and trousers. A whistle and a head torch (with spare batteries) should be carried, particularly during the winter months, and a hi- visibility garment would be very useful in case of poor visibility. Participants must satisfy themselves that the walk is suitable for their abilities. You can take advice by ringing the walk leader whose telephone number is given. No liability will be accepted for loss or injury that occurs because of taking part. An adult must accompany young people (under 18). MOST OF THESE WALKS ARE FOR EXPERIENCED WALKERS - IF YOU’RE NOT SURE OF YOUR ABILITY WHY NOT START OFF WITH A MODERATE WALK TO FIND OUT? Please check the guided walks programme on the website for planned cancellations and changes to walks. Leaders may change or cancel the advertised route at their discretion due to adverse weather conditions or other problems on the day. You are strongly advised to check the Mountain weather forecast for the Brecon Beacons National Park before setting out for walks, on the Met Office website: www.metoffice.gov.uk. Finish times are approximate. Strenuous walks require fitness and stamina to cope with several steep climbs and/or cover a good distance at a steady pace.

  • Cycle Across the Beacons
    This free routebook was created at cycle.travel - the best way to plan an awesome bike route. Cycle across the Beacons Map data © OpenStreetMap.org contributors (Open Database Licence). Cartography © cycle.travel, all rights reserved. You may copy this PDF for your friends, but commercial redistribution is prohibited. Thanks! Cycle across the Beacons This really is a ride of two halves. From Abergavenny to Brecon, it’s a gentle towpath amble along the lovely Monmouthshire & Brecon. After Brecon… let’s just say it’s a bit less gentle. You wouldn’t expect a route called “Cycle across the Beacons” to be flat, and it isn’t. Indeed, although Sustrans worked with the Brecon Beacons National Park to set it up, the hilly section isn’t numbered as part of the National Cycle Network – they considered it too tough for that. But if your legs are up to it, this is a magnificent 55-mile ride through the southern Welsh hills: the quietest roads, the sleepiest villages, the greatest views. What bike do you need? The hilly section west of Brecon really asks for a road bike, a cross bike or perhaps a hybrid. A mountain bike will be too heavy to haul up those gradients. These are often single-lane roads with a grassy centre and a smattering of gravel, so don’t turn up with skinny tyres expecting pristine tarmac. Especially when you see the canal towpath after Abergavenny: some of it has been widened and smoothed out, but much of it is still essentially unimproved singletrack. Fortunately, there’s a tolerable road running parallel (the A4077/B4558), which roadies may prefer.

    © Lonely Planet Publications Pty Ltd SOUTHEAST WALES & BRECON BEACONS 3 PERFECT DAYS DAY 1 // FOLLOW THE RIVERS Spend the fi rst part of the day exploring the lower Wye Valley, starting at the impres- sive castle at Chepstow (p 74 ). Head upstream to the ghostly remains of Tintern Abbey (p 77 ) and then continue through the wooded gorge, crossing in and out of England, until you reach Monmouth (p 78 ). Have a quick look around but don’t stop just yet. Instead, follow the River Monnow to either Skenfrith (p 82 ) or Grosmont (p 83 ): they’re both wonderfully isolated hamlets, each with an ancient church, castle, good place to sleep and, of course, a village pub. DAY 2 // SPLENDID ISOLATION Continuing on roads less travelled, take the A465 to Llanfi hangel Crucorney (p 90 ) and journey through the heart of the Black Mountains on the lonely road traversing the Vale of Ewyas (p 90 ). Llanthony Priory’s photogenic ruins are worth a visit. Continue over Gospel Pass, soaking up the moody moorland vistas. Drop anchor in charming Hay-on-Wye (p 90 ), spending the afternoon rummaging through secondhand book- shops and antiques shops. Have dinner at one of the excellent pubs then check out whatever’s happening at the Globe. DAY 3 // FOOD FIRST Have a quick wander around Brecon (p 97 ) in the morning then continue towards Ab- ergavenny (p 83 ). Some of Wales’ best eateries lurk in country lanes along this route, so book for lunch and dinner. You can spend the afternoon walking off the calories, but if that sounds too physical, head to World Heritage–rated Blaenavon (p 104 ).
