Brecon is situated in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The stunning countryside, the pace of life, and the whole ethos of the Welsh rural and cultural heritage make it a unique place to visit. Beyond the Festival, there are masses of paths and trails for walkers, runners, cyclists, mountain bikers, horse riders and wildlife-watchers. There’s a brilliant range of organised activities on offer too, from gentle recreational pursuits like photography to full-on adrenaline sports such as paragliding, rafting and abseiling.
