Product Description

Product Description

The Brecon Beacons National Park has a considerable advantage for the average walker. Short, gentle, safe circular walks are numerous in this area. These vary greatly in character from low-level valley walks, including woodland and waterfalls, to combined valley and ridge walks. Relatively short distances need to be travelled by car as the walking areas are directly linked by roads. These factors make this an ideal area for individuals or families of any walking ability. The large number and wide choice of routes means that a walk can be selected to suit the weather and a wide variety of abilities and interests. The book describes 33 walks in detail with a commentary on every aspect of things seen along the way, so that in addition to its recreational role it has a fascinating educational role as well. The Brecon Beacons National Park has excellent road communication with south Wales, the Midlands and the south-east of England. All the walks described in this guidebook are covered by the Brecon Beacons National Park Central Area Outdoor Leisure Map 11. The ideas for this book came from a realisation that many walkers in the Brecon Beacons wish to know more of the countryside they come to enjoy and explore. One solution is for them to follow one of the many guided walks organised by the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority. This guidebook has the added advantage of giving information on all aspects of the countryside, as though the walker were accompanied by several experts at the same time.

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!, 22 Aug 2002
By A Customer
This book has the ability to be used as your very own 'Personal Guide'. It was recommended to me by a work colleague as we both enjoy walking.

This book contains amazing detail of individual walks and includes many helpful tips and hints. For example, grid references, small maps, photography hints, glossary of Welsh words and names and many more.

The book is mainly divided up into sections of the routes available and these are divided as follows:

North-Eastern Valleys and Ridges

Eastern Valleys and Ridges
South-Western Valleys and Ridges
Fforest Fawr
Waterfall Country

It also contains detailed information on how to get to the starting point of each of the
many walks fully described in this book.

The vast amount of information in this pocket-sized book does not stop here! All of the walks described contains comments on geomorphology, hydrology, geology, botany, zoology, ecology, ornithology, archeology, local history, land-use and environmental issues.

Most importantly this book is easy to read and is broken up with many photographs, cross-section diagrams and maps etc. As you can obviously guess I am very impressed with this book however I haven't even read it all yet. Nevertheless I am enormously impressed and can not wait to finish it.

It will certainly encourage me to take a very well-thought out walk around the fascinating routes discovered amongst
