Tips

Trail Pursuit

September 1, 2021

Talybont is perfectly situated for trail running adventures. This charming village has everything you need for a base, including a trio of excellent pubs, a lovely cafe, a village shop and a restaurant. We love Talybont so much, the nearby Gilestone Farm became the home of our 2021 Trail Pursuit Festival in the Brecon Beacons.

There's everything from forest tracks, reservoir loops and modest hills within easy striking distance. The Central Beacons massif, including the iconic Pen y Fan, is also only a short distance away for more epic outings. If you fancy a less strenuous jog, the historic Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal runs through the village.
