Walking
Our Beacons provide routes to suit everyone - from the casual ambler to the serious hill walker. The level towpath of the tranquil Monmouthshire and Brecon canal, around the reservoir, following the 'Taff trail' along the line of a disused railway and the route of Talybont's 19th century tram road are all ideal for a gentle stroll. The paths to and around the spectacular Blaen y Glyn waterfall are readily accessible with the right footwear and can be used to explore the forest tracks or even get out onto the open hill. For the more energetic and properly equipped, there are popular routes onto the Bryn from Pencelli, the Cwm Tarthwynni circuit from Talybont reservoir and the Torpantau circuit, including Pen y Fan, from the southern end of the valley.
The village shop in Talybont offers a good selection of walking guides and the Tourist Information Centre in Brecon provides excellent advice and a further range of maps and guides.
