Aberhyddnant Organic Farm provides a range of sheep and goat-based experience days suitable for family groups and individuals. Take a walk through the beautiful Welsh countryside with your very own woolly companion or learn to shear a sheep!

Fly, zip, zoom, and climb while surrounded by epic, preserved historical coal mining structures, and soak up everything the Welsh countryside has to offer. Experience an adrenaline-inducing flight at speeds of up to 70mph on the world’s fastest seated zip line, Phoenix, or stay closer to the ground on Europe’s only 2-seater coaster of its kind, the Tower Coaster.

Alpaca My Boots

Epic mountains, rolling hills and lush green valleys as far as the eye can see – these perfectly placed alpaca treks are an ideal way to enjoy the natural beauty of the Brecon Beacons National Park, with 360° viewpoints and photo opportunities aplenty.

How Far Is the Brecon Beacons From Major UK Cities?

One of the reasons the Brecon Beacons National Park is such a popular camping destination is its accessibility from many major cities across the UK. Despite feeling wonderfully remote and peaceful, the national park is surprisingly easy to reach by car.

For many visitors, the Brecon Beacons provides the perfect countryside escape within a reasonable driving distance.

Approximate travel times include:

Cardiff → Brecon Beacons
Around 1 hour

Bristol → Brecon Beacons
Around 1 hour 30 minutes

Birmingham → Brecon Beacons
Around 2 hours

London → Brecon Beacons
Around 3 hours 30 minutes

Because of its central location within southern Britain, the Brecon Beacons has become one of the most accessible national parks for campers seeking mountain scenery and peaceful countryside.

For visitors travelling from England, the journey into Wales quickly transforms from busy motorways into scenic country roads surrounded by rolling hills and valleys.

Many campsites within the region, including Cwmdu Campsite, are ideally located to provide easy access to the national park while still offering the tranquillity of rural Welsh landscapes.
