The Brecon Beacons National Park in South Wales is a place of beautiful and diverse landscapes – majestic valleys, dramatic waterfalls and high mountain peaks and ridges. From west to east, Mynydd Du, Fforest Fawr, the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains offer a wide range of options for walkers.

These walks avoid the more popular routes to explore unfrequented wooded gorges and upland valleys. The authors’ aim is to offer the reader a ‘solitary guided walk’ – the opportunity to enjoy the wilderness, accompanied by all the geological, historical, botanical and other facts that a bevy of expert guides might provide.

• 45 circular walks for all abilities, arranged by seven areas and indexed for areas of interest and difficulty
• geological diagrams and information boxes on local points of interest
• colour photographs and OS mapping
