 Brecon
Beacons (Official National Park Guide)
Tour Brecon Beacons. The wide open spaces of the Brecon Beacons
National Park cover some 519 square miles (1,344 square kilometres).
Ancient red sandstone has weathered to create a succession of
crests and valleys that give the highest peaks in south Wales,
together with natural as well as man-made lakes, while in the
limestone country in the south are spectacular waterfalls, caves
and wooded gorges. The Park's wild beauty is accentuated by
its proximity to the completely contrasting neighbouring landscape
of industrial south-east Wales. A sense of history also plays
its part in the Beacons' appeal. The landscape is dotted with,
prehistoric monuments, Roman remains, and medieval castles.
The Beacons are loved by visitors from near and far who come
for the sheer exhilaration of walking unimpeded across vast
swathes of open common land, for the green freshness of the
landscape, for the watersports, mountain biking, fishing and
pony trekking. The Pevensey National Park series of guide books
celebrates the beauty and diversity of our National Parks through
stunning photographs from some of the finest landscape photographers
in Britain, matched with evocative and authoritative text from
an acknowledged expert on each Park. The series has the official
endorsement and backing of the individual National Park, and
the Association of National Park Authorities.
