HE THIRD OF THREE National Parks in Wales, a visit to the Brecon Beacons, with its snow-tipped peaks, tumbling mountain sides, cascading waterfalls, crystal clear lakes, incredible stargazing and endless walking trails to explore, is a must when visiting Wales. Sometimes referred to as "the central Beacons" the Brecon Beacons mountain range spans 500 square miles and includes South Wales' highest mountain, Pen y Fan. Not only is it incredibly beautiful, but it has an impressive cultural heritage. Noted attractions include the weathered remains of Carreg Cennen Castle, and, for those feeling brave and strong on foot, there's an underground tunnel to see the natural cave that lies buried deep in the castle rock, used as a storeroom and as the dungeon. If you would like to take a walk on the wild side and experience the Brecon Beacons as part of your next Dream Escape tailor made holiday, then we hope you will enjoy our take on how best to experience such a special national park, and to embrace the beauty of the landscape and the natural habitat.
