    The Brecon Beacons well known “THE GAP” is a passing between Crybin and Fan y big in the shadow of Pen y fan. Gap Road which will take you through the Neuadd valley.
    The Gap Road- is actually an old main Roman road. The Gap provides the first encounter with what I call engineered paths.

      The Two Gaps or the Long Gap. A Brecon Beacons classic route in the heart of the National Park taking in two mountains passes, Bwlch y Glasgwn (Blue Valley Pass) high above the Talybont Reservoir and the famous Bwlch ar y Fan, better known as the Gap Road. This is a full day out, with big views to match.

        Gap Road. This was the first track to enable horse-drawn carriages to cross the mountain range. It's thought to be a Roman road, although no archaeological evidence has been found as yet.
        Turn right onto the gap road and follow this route all the way back to the car park, and to your starting point.
