Pen y Fan

Pen y Fan is the highest peak in Brecknockshire and indeed with a summit 2,907 feet above sea-level, it is the highest ground in Britain south of Snowdonia.

The mountain rears up in the Brecon Beacons, in the midmost of the mountains, south of Brecon. The summit is found on a ridge stretching from Talybont Reservoir in the east, with subsidiary tops at Corn Du and Y Gyrn. To the east, the ridge drops steeply to the col connecting it to Cribyn, the next mountain along the ridge.

The mountain and surrounding area are owned by the National Trust whose work parties are kept busy on this most popular of Brecknockshire's peaks. (Read more)
