As many of you love to walk we thought it would be a great opportunity to share a weekly walk for the perfect holiday which is also shared on our campsite blog!

Locally, there are many beautiful walks- most of which can be done straight from the campsite, so no car needed. Many of these walks also link to our local pub, The Farmers Arms, so you can stop by for a cold drink on your way home.

However, if you fancy an alternative walk, Walking Brecon Beacons have many other options.

The Walk

We call this one ‘The New Walk’ as it was discovered in lockdown!

Directions

This walk doesn’t actually take you onto a mountain, but it is a local favourite as it has beautiful views of the Black Mountains! It takes just over an hour and it relatively flat.

• Turn right out of the top of the campsite
• Follow the lane, and turn right at the sharp junction by the houses, and go down this lane to the main road
• Cross the main road and turn left once you have gone over the little bridge
• Follow this straight part of the lane, and then go over the stile, in front of you, at the next junction (there will be a sign here that says no HGVs)
• Go into this field and cross the stream ahead of you
• Then walk through this big field, and cross the stream and then stile, into the little wood
• Follow the path, and go over the stone wall stile
• Then continue up this hill, following the footpath signs- you will go through three gates
• Once you have reached the top of the hill, you will go through a green gate where there are built-in steps
• Walkthrough this field and over the stile, into the farm
• Walkthrough the farm until you see a rusted gate on your left
• Go over the stile here and down the field
• Follow the path, over the next stile
• Keep going down this field and over the stile that takes you opposite the house named ‘Tregaer’
• Turn left here and go along this lane for 1 mile (to know you’re on the right track, you will pass a driveway called ‘Heddfan’)
• Then keep going straight at the next junction (there will be a sign here that says no HGVs)
• Go along this lane, and keep going straight ahead at the next junction
• Then, before the hill begins, there will be a footpath sign on your right Go over the stile here and into the field

NOTE: if you have a dog, please put it on a lead here as there may be sheep in the field

• Follow this path and go over the second stile. You will be able to see the lane and another bridge from here
• Walk towards the bridge
• Cross the stile, and go over the bridge towards the Farmer’s Arms Pub
• Once you have crossed the road, you can either stop off at the pub, or turn right at the junction and follow the signs back to the campsite

We hope you enjoyed this walk!
