Walked from Brecon to Talybont along the tow path and what a fantastic walk !! Managed a quick refresher at the Royal Oak in Pencelli (right on the canalside) - super little pub.

Llyn y Fan Fach

Reviewed By adamdI8870TK - Talbot Green, United Kingdom

Easy access to the free car park and easy to moderate path to the lake and mountain top. I would recommend going to the toilet before heading to this car park and walk as there are no facilities.

Ellesmere Riding Centre

Reviewed By DayTrip44150432904 - London, United Kingdom

I’ve just returned from a wonderful weekend ride where we covered over 50 miles of the stunning welsh hills. The scenery and riding is spectacular; as are the horses. The horses are so well cared for-they are super fit, well schooled, safe and sure footed. Often with these kind of trips the horses can be overworked, seen as machines or horses will just follow each other nose to tail-none of which is enjoyable or acceptable. But these horses are top notch and I think that sets Ellesmere apart. The guides, Georgie and Pip, and Julie who looks after the horses at the yard, were also fantastic. A huge and special thanks to Myfanwy, the dedicated and passionate owner who arranged everything for us; including picking out the most suitable horse for each each individual, arranging our stays in lovely b&bs and booking our delicious dinners in the local pubs. I’ve been on a few day rides with other establishments in over the years, but I now wouldn’t go any where else and I’ve recommended Ellesmere to every horsey person I know. Looking forward to visiting again next year!
