We may not be packed out for clubs and bars, but the Brecon Beacons is one of the world's only Dark Skies reserves. Rent our Astronomy Telescope and get as close to the stars as you can on the mountaintop above Cray Reservoir - easily accessible by car.

Entertainment & Activities
It's been voted several times over as one of the best days out in Wales, and with good reason. We can't reccomend this place enough, for everyone from families (the whole hillside is populated with lifesize hungry dinosaurs!) to sightseers (the caves themselves are beautiful like you wouldn't believe).
