Bannau Brycheiniog Expedition

Bannau Brycheiniog Traverse

Spend a weekend traversing the park, taking in dramatic views, towering waterfalls, and landscapes shaped by both nature and history. It’s a chance to step away from the everyday and try something a little different.

If you’re already comfortable with day hikes and ready to build on that experience, this is a weekend is designed to take you further and build the skills that lead to bigger adventures. You’ll sharpen your navigation, move with confidence across varied terrain, and building the skills that give you the freedom to explore further.

You’ll be supported throughout, with space to challenge yourself, learn as you go, and settle into a rhythm that feels both rewarding and achievable.
