Small and Peaceful in the Heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park
Walking is the most popular activity within the Brecon Beacons National Park. Pencelli Castle Caravan & Camping Park is the nearest 5 Star park to the Brecon Beacons mountain range, making it the ideal base for walking.
A holiday in Wales would not be complete without climbing the Brecon Beacons. You can walk from Pencelli Castle to the highest peak, Pen-Y-Fan in a little over three hours. The walk leads up past Llanfeugan Church, through open fields and onto the Brecon Beacons. Following sheep tracks and the high ridge with spectacular views all the way to Pen y Fan. The terrain is mainly gently sloping and grassy. Welsh Mountain sheep graze on the Brecon Beacons and over the years they have worn gentle paths which, if followed, make walking a lot easier.
