Beacon Way, Long-distance footpath in Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales

The Beacons Way extends for 159 kilometers through diverse landscapes, connecting mountain peaks and valleys across the Brecon Beacons National Park terrain.

John Sansom established this walking route in 2005 with support from the Brecon Beacons Park Society, leading to its official recognition as a major trail.

The trail passes numerous Welsh historical sites, including Carreg Cennen Castle and Crug Hywel hillfort, revealing the region's medieval heritage.

Walkers need strong navigation skills and proper equipment, as sections of the path contain limited markings and weather conditions change rapidly.

The route includes alternative low-level paths beneath the Black Mountain escarpment, allowing hikers to choose between different elevation experiences.

GPS coordinates: 52.61100,-1.96820
