GUIDED TRAIL HOLIDAYS   2012
Wales

Cambrian Way South

A guided walking trail holiday in the Brecon Beacons following part of the southern section of Tony Drake’s Cambrian Way is a great way to traverse the highest, wildest and most scenic parts of South Wales. This section starts at Abergavenny and ends at Llandovery. The whole route lies within the Brecon Beacons National Park and our trail follows the four distinct mountain ranges which have been fashioned by the passage of glaciers in the past. There is a wide variety of wildlife including the possibility of seeing red kite on the wing. We stay for a week in Brecon and each day are transported by private minivan to start and end the walks.
