It was established as a National Park in 1957, and it is also a designated International Dark Sky Reserve. The Park features a vast array of activities to join in on, such as cycling, walking trails, fishing, caving, and kayaking.

At the centrepiece of the Park lies the 5-mile stretch of Llangorse Lake, surrounded by lush pastures and fields, one of the most beautiful natural sites in Wales. Throughout the Park lie various Neolithic burial cairns, Iron Age Hillforts, majestic medieval castles and churches. The Brecon Beacons National Park is a stunning display of stunning natural beauty!
