The Neighborhood

Hiding on the northern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, you only need to lace up, step outside and pick a direction to experience a soul-stirring stroll with the finest scenery in South Wales. High mountain plateaus of grass and heather, glacier-scoured hollows, waterfall-splashed valleys, enchanted woodland walks and a plethora of rural landscapes await you. As far as hikes go, nothing can quite compare to a sunrise start as you take on the highest, most famous peak in South Wales, Pen y Fan, around a 30-minute drive away. With uninterrupted views over the Neuadd Valley and the reservoirs near Merthyr Tydfil, this is a mountain worth climbing during your stay. Just 15-minutes southwest of Brecon sits Dan yr Ogof, a 17-kilometre long cave system where stalactites and stalagmites cling to the rock and atmospheric lighting adds to the ethereal experience. Not far away is Cantref Riding Centre, the only place licenced to take Pony Treks up on to the main peaks of the Brecon Beacons where you can soak up the spectacular views of the Brecon Beacons National Park from the unique vantage point in the saddle. Whether you want to earn your pub lunch with a three-mile hike over the hills or you’d prefer a lazy stroll through Sennybridge, you have a choice of charming pubs dotted around you in almost every direction. Sennybridge is only a 10-minute drive away, but there is another pub just a 20-minute walk from the barn.
