"The Brecon Beacons (Welsh: Bannau Brycheiniog) is a mountain range in South Wales. In a narrow sense, the name refers to the range of Old Red Sandstone peaks popular with walkers which lie to the south of Brecon. Sometimes referred to as "the central Beacons" they include South Wales' highest mountain, Pen y Fan. The range forms the central section of the Brecon Beacons National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog), a designation which also encompasses ranges both to the east and the west of "the central Beacons". This much wider area is also commonly referred to as "the Brecon Beacons". Text Source: (

"There is a pay and display car park though admission to the centre itself is free. The shop sells maps and guides and items of walking equipment. Staff are always on hand to assist with enquiries about the National Park. A popular cafeteria provides food and drinks throughout the year. The Centre hosts a variety of events both large and small during the year. These include guided walks, some of which explore the common of Mynydd Illtud beside which the Centre is situated. From the grounds and in particular from the terrace, striking views of the two highest peaks in the Brecon Beacons can be enjoyed in comfort. A simple interpretive panel explains this view of Pen y Fan and Corn Du.
A three dimensional relief map of the entire National Park has long been one of the most popular exhibits. A geological display featuring the various rock types of the area has recently been improved as a means of promoting and interpreting Fforest Fawr Geopark which constitutes the western half of the National Park. Short films about the National Park and the Geopark can be viewed in the Centre.
A grassed area in front of the building is available for children to play games and for picknicking. Text Source: (
