From lazy strolls to seriously challenging climbs, the Beacons are full of walks to suit anyone and everyone. Pen y Fan is usually the centre of attention, the least you’d expect from the highest peak in South Wales. There are a few different routes you can take, depending on your ability. For an gentler amble up to the trig point, start from the Storey Arms. Or if you're up for a challenge you can take on the Horseshoe Ridge, a 10-mile slog through trees and moors that eventually gives way to the mountain's steep face.
