Classic route to the top of Pen Y Fan and a great thigh burner. Made infamous by the SAS as part of their Fan Dance event. It's a great place to work out and get some of the best views in the central range of the Brecon Beacons at the same time.

A High fitness level is essential!! Not your average easy ascend like the other side to the beautiful peak of Penyfan! Oh no this is So much steeper than you actually think.. I'd say it's a difficult route either way you try this hike/walk it's a good burn on the thighs, if your a beginner then it will be brutal if you haven't done a similar terrain at any point before then those legs will feel it for quite some time.

This is a good route up Pen y Fan, it's steeper than the standard Storey Arms style route and has a much longer entry route. However it's definitely something that needs doing from time to time for an added challenge.

Pen y Fan Horseshoe Ridge — Bannau Brycheiniog / Brecon Beacons National Park

The Pen y Fan Horseshoe Ridge offers a challenging and rewarding hike through Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. This classic circular route covers 11.5 miles (18.5 km) with a significant elevation gain of 2370 feet (722 metres), typically taking around 5 hours and 55 minutes to complete. You will traverse well-worn mountain trails, rocky sections, and grassy ridges, encountering numerous steep ascents and descents, including pitched stone staircases. From the summits of Corn Du, Pen y Fan, and Cribyn, you can enjoy magnificent 360-degree views across the Brecon Beacons and towards the Neuadd Reservoirs below.

Rated as difficult, this route demands good fitness and sturdy footwear. The trail can be a mixture of mud, rock, and stony paths, with some sections becoming boggy, especially in winter. The ridge sections are exposed, so be prepared for rapidly changing mountain weather and potential wind. Starting your hike early is often recommended to secure parking and experience quieter sections of this popular trail.

This route is celebrated as one of the best ridge walks in southern Britain, forming a distinctive U-shape around the Taf Fechan glacial valley. It includes Pen y Fan, the highest mountain in South Wales, along with Corn Du and Cribyn, all featuring Bronze Age burial cairns. The challenging conditions and varied terrain also make it a famous training ground, notably used by UK Special Forces for their selection process.
