    Tips

    Originally known as Dyffryn Ceidrich, this village adopted the name Bethlehem from its chapel in the 1800s. It sits in the Tywi Valley, right on the western end of the Brecon Beacons National Park under Garn Goch and its impressive hill fort ruins.



    It is the official end of the Beacons Way long-distance footpath, but due to lack of accommodation and transport options, the vast majority of hikers continue north to Llangadog. A carved wooden bench represents the Way here, depicting Llyn y Fan Fach and the Black Mountain's spectacular escarpment. A similar bench depicts the Skirrid near the eastern end of the Way.

      Officially, Bethlehem is the end of the Beacon Way... but absolutely no sign is placed to mark the arrival.

      It's a very small village (even no pubs :-)), with some beautiful views, especially around the old church.
