Vandring

Chief of the Brecon Beacons and the highest summit in south Wales, Pen y Fan is a hugely popular peak with routes to the top to suit everyone from first time day-trippers to potential SAS commandos. Red sandstone creates its unmistakable layered profile and gives hue to the Bronze Age cairn that tops the summit.

At 2,907 feet (886 m), this summit might not be a particularly high one, but the views from the top are amazing. As the highest peak south of Snowdonia, you can really see for miles on a clear day — all the way to the Severn Bridge and out into Powys.

While it might not be high, the SAS use the area as a training ground for a reason. Be careful on windy days and wear sensible footwear in the wet. Also, consider walking up from Corn Du. It's the slightly tougher route but is well worth the walk.
