Hiking

On the Brecon Mountain Railway, you can travel in a lovely carriage being pulled by a vintage steam locomotive through beautiful scenery into Bannau Brycheiniog National Park along the full length of the Taf Fechan Reservoir to Torpantau, high in the Brecon Beacons. It's a beautiful journey.
