Exploring the Natural Surroundings

During your vacation stay, you'll have access to 50 acres of woodland, where you can walk along the streams running through the wood, relax on rustic benches strategically placed to enjoy the peace and beauty of nature, or just take a picnic and find your peaceful spot. You'll be amazed by the rich, rolling green landscapes and glorious Mountains of Powys, the largest county in Wales. One of the activities you can enjoy is stargazing in Brecon. Brecons Beacons National Park is only the fifth destination in the world to be granted international dark sky reserve status. The following are just a couple of the best spots to stargaze.

Best Stargazing Spots

Usk Reservoir. This is a superb dark location which is protected from the light pollution of the South Wales Valleys. The Usk Reservoir has ample parking and is easily reached from the Trecastle area. Have a family picnic as the sun goes down, then set up your telescope to enjoy outstanding dark skies.

Crai Reservoir. This reservoir is extremely dark, but unfortunately, it only has a few locations that are accessible to the casual observer. The village has a field nearby that provides great views and parking.
