An exilarating walk along a footpath under a tree canopy and across fields to the top of Slwch Tump, a 246m high Iron Age hill fort, immediately north of Brecon. From the top there are fantastic views over the town, Pen-y-Fan and the Brecon Beacons

An enjoyable but slow (for me) uphill walk following a tree enclosed bridleway and then across grazing pasture to the top of Slwch Tump, a 800 feet high, Iron Age hill fort, North of Brecon.
From the top there are fantastic views over Brecon market town, you can see the two highest peaks in the Brecon Beacons, 'Pen y Fan' and 'Corn Du' . To the south, Pen-y-Crug (another hill fort) to the west and on a clear day Hay Bluff and the Sugar Loaf Mountain to the East.
"Brecon is a traditional Mid Wales market town nestling in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons National Park in the County of Powys. This magical spot at the confluence of two rivers, the Usk and the Honddu has always been a popular destination offering visitors spectacular scenery and leisure activities"
