Description
A varied encounter with South Wales.
Bannau Brycheiniog features open ridges, wooded valleys, waterfalls, and tranquil waterways. The selection of walks showcases several sides of the national park and provides excellent opportunities to vary your holiday. Brecon, Crickhowell, and Abergavenny are natural starting points for those wishing to explore the landscape at a calm and flexible pace.
Fifteen shorter walks in varied terrain.
Here you will find both low-level walks by water and canals as well as options with more ascent. The book covers waterfall landscapes, the Usk area, and mountains such as Sugar Loaf and Pen y Fan. This makes it possible to choose according to weather, fitness levels, and how much of the day you wish to spend outdoors.
Practical assistance before and during the walk.
Ordnance Survey maps and step-by-step route descriptions accompany the walks, with information on parking and relevant stopping points. You receive help finding the starting point and assessing how the walk fits into your day. Photos and short descriptions of sights make the selection clearer even when planning from home.
Choose between gentle paths and more ascent.
Canals and certain river sections offer easier terrain, while the mountain walks have steeper sections and more weather-exposed locations. The guide is therefore also useful when participants have different preferences and experience levels. Short distances do not make all walks equally easy, so use the descriptions to choose the option that suits your walking group.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
