BWLCH with FORTITUDE - A walk through time in the Brecon Beacons National Park.

You will travel through the Neolithic, Iron, Roman, Medieval and Victorian ages which are evident by the monuments and buildings left by people from the past.

Most of the walk is on quiet country lanes and old drovers’ roads with the last section travelling through fields and over small streams.

This walk connects the villages of Bwlch, Cwmdu & Tretower.

In 2012 we are proud to present BWLCH with MAGNITUDE !!
