Walking Day 2 of the Brecon Beacons Way - Carreg Cennen Castle to YHA Llanddeusant

Association or club
↔20.21 km ↗+647 m ↘-619 m ◔7h 35 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Dyffryn Cennen (Carmarthenshire)

This walk takes us north from Carreg Cennen Castle, into the Black Mountains on the second leg of the Brecon Beacons Way. There are a couple of climbs but nothing too difficult and there's plenty to see along the way.

Walking Llyn-y-Fan-Fawr, Mynydd Ddu from Llanddeusant

Walker
↔17.99 km ↗+652 m ↘-685 m ◔7h 00 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Llanddeusant (Carmarthenshire)

This is a brilliant linear trail in the Brecon Beacons National Park, incorporating many good viewpoints and one extra-special one. It begins in Carmarthenshire near the village of Llandeusant and ends in Powys in the Glyntawe valley, crossing a mountain ridge that beats Pen-y-Fan in my view, but because it's less accessible is less well-known.

Walking Day 3 of the Brecon Beacons Way - YHA Llanddeusant to Craig-y-Nos

Association or club
↔16.03 km ↗+675 m ↘-741 m ◔6h 30 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Llanddeusant (Carmarthenshire)

The route leaves Llanddeusant and heads into the Black Mountains on the third leg of the Brecon Beacons Way. It's generally a walk south along ridges and mountain tops to finally drop down to the Craig-y-nos Country Park on the Afon Tawe river.

Walking Day 1 of the Brecon Beacons Way - Llangadog Station to Carreg Cennen Castle

Association or club
↔15.83 km ↗+420 m ↘-231 m ◔5h 45 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Llangadog (Carmarthenshire)

This is a short walk to begin the Brecon Beacons Way, going from west to east. You might need a few hours to get to Llangdog Station at the start of the walk or you might choose to stay in the village before setting out on the trail. Either way, this route is an easy way to break into your stride without any strain or stress.

Walking The Brecon Beacons Way from Llangadog Station to Abergavenny Station

Association or club
↔182.22 km ↗+6,357 m ↘-6,331 m ◔8 days ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Llangadog (Carmarthenshire)

This is the Beacons Way "the other way" from West to East. The prevailing wind comes from the west, so I prefer to have it at my back than in my face. However, there are a lot of North-South headings along this route and even an occasional westerly path. The scenery is fantastic either looking forward, back or to the side. A route to be enjoyed either way.

Walking Day 4 of the Brecon Beacons Way - Craig-y-Nos to YHA Brecon Beacons

Association or club
↔26.13 km ↗+863 m ↘-768 m ◔9h 55 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Tawe-Uchaf (Powys)

We're now well into the Brecon Beacons Way and this route begins with a walk through the Ogof Ffynnon Ddu National Nature Reserve, designated to protect its limestone pavements, associated flora and caves beneath. Then it heads north to climb up to Fan Llia and follow the crags over to Storey Arms. It then takes the Taff Trail to YHA Brecon Beacons.
