Wandelgids 18 Brecon Beacons Pathfinder Guide

eze Pathfinder Guide is een goed uitgevoerde gids met verschillende wandelingen in Groot-Britannië. De gids bevat naast goede topografische kaarten van de Britse topografische dienst (Ordanance Survey) ook beschrijvingen van het landschap, de cultuur en/of de flora en fauna. Verder is de gids voorzien van praktische informatie zoals startpunten, verwachte wandeltijd, restaurants en cafés voor onderweg.   Within the boundaries of the Brecon Beacons National Park there are four separate mountain ranges: Black Mountain, the most westerly, Fforest Fawr, the Beacons themselves and The Black Mountains to the east. Most of the area is underlain by old red sandstone, which distinguishes it from the more rugged mountains of North Wales, and many of the walks explore this terrain of smooth, sweeping grassy uplands and wide, open vistas, including the Brecon Beacons Horseshoe.  



In addition to the immense views and wonderful scenery the routes featured take in prehistoric standing stones at Maen Llia and Maen Madoc, and hillforts at Crug Hywel and Pen-y-crug, the Roman road of sarn Helen and the dramatic Norman castle of Carreg Cennen, as well as the tranquil ruins of the Augustinian priory at Llanthony, beautifully situated in the secluded Vale of Ewyas.
