Tips

January 15, 2024

Hiking

This route up the western flanks of Llyn Y Fan Fach is one of the best views in the entire Brecon Beacons. To do the Llyn y Fan Fach and Llyn y Fan Fawr circular walk will give you a memorable walk and simply astonishing views. You will take in two stunning glacial lakes, miles of epic ridge lines and mountain views that will remind you of loftier mountain ranges. It all starts here with your gaze across the glacial bowl of Llyn Y Fan Fach, truly one of the mountain gems of Wales.

Hiking

The lake is overlooked by several prominent mountain peaks, especially Picws Du and Waun Lefrith. Waun Lefrith is formed from the sandstones and mudstones of the Brownstones Formation of the Old Red Sandstone laid down during the Devonian period. Its southern slopes are formed from the hard-wearing sandstones of the overlying Plateau Beds Formation which are of upper/late Devonian age.
