Best Walks in the Brecon Beacons

For the best walks in Wales and indeed anywhere in the southern part of the UK, the Brecon Beacons is one of the finest spots to head. Just ask Outdoors Magic writer Will Renwick. The current President of Ramblers Cymru, Will chooses to spend nearly all of his spare time hiking the earthy red trails of the national park, which he calls ‘the Beacons’ (“never ‘the Brecons’”). He’s walked basically every inch of the area, not just on day trips but on long distance journeys on trails like the Beacons Way, the Offa’s Dyke Path and the Cambrian Way,As part of our latest collaboration with route planning app komoot to help them champion some of the best walking routes in the country, Will has whittled down his top 10 favourites within the confines of this amazingly accessible national park, which, by the way, is less than 30 minutes drive from the M4, and as little as 2 hours 15 mins by train from London.
