Milky Way and International Space Station passing over Penyfan and Corn Du...

I found a fitbit on the path to Pen Y Fan this evening. Message me if you have lost one ?????

Looking at Corn Du from Pen Y Fan

Here is the majestic Corn Du and Pen Y Fan at sunrise on a very wintery morning. I can never get bored of these views, the peace and tranquility one can soak in on a cold winters morning is more than enough to rejuvenate after a week in the office!

Lovely insightful review of Llangoed Hall and the Brecon Beacons National Park for the 50+ generation in High50 Three things we loved 1. There’s no traditional reception desk at Llangoed Hall. Instead, staff just look out for people arriving and magically appear at the door. 2. The huge bathroom and tub, Penhaligon’s toiletries, and pretty floral china designed especially for the hotel. 3. The walled garden. The chefs all put hours into it, maintaining and planting. Visit http://www.britishhistorybreaks.com/explore/llangoed-hall/ to discover the story behind this luxury hotel.

And here are the winning photos from Fran Evans :)

Drum roll please, we have a winner! Congratulations to Fran Evans who has won Phase 1 of our #destinationbreconbeacons photo competition. Your iPhone is on its way to you right now! Did you miss out? Don't worry we have great news! Phase 2 of the competition is now now open with another iPhone to win – rules are the same – just show us your journey to the park by Public Transport and your adventure in the Park and get your entries to us by 11.59pm on Friday, 24th June.

Easter break is nearly here, Brecon Beacons National Park has so much to offer, fantastic walks, beautiful scenery and just a great place to unwind. We serve food from 12-9-30pm, pop in and try our delicious Set lunch or even try our Afternoon tea on our sun trap terrace.

Happy St Patricks day everyone :) Now this could be a bit of a tedious link, but its one we are happy to make! Was St. Patrick a Welsh Man from the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park?

The Milky Way stretches across the night sky over the rugged limestone pavement landscape of Ystradfellte. A little snow can be seen up on Fan Nedd in the distance...

Thanks for staying at Coed Owen George and Stags. Looks like you had fun gorge walking and quad biking in the Brecon Beacons National Park.

We have teamed up with our Ecologist to create a great new feature - Brecon Beacons Species of the Month – seasonal wildlife to look out for! MARCH - The Lesser Celandine (Ficaria verna) Harbinger of spring, treatment for a certain delicate complaint and William Wordsworth’s favourite plant…. Our native woodland wildflowers put on a fantastic display in early Spring. The Lesser Celandine is one of the earliest to flower and, despite its Welsh name of Llygad Ebrill (‘April’s Eye’), can appear as early as February. Its striking, golden yellow flowers (together with its glossy heart shaped leaves) often blanket the ground in woodlands, hedge-banks, damp fields and on the banks of streams and rivers. It’s a resilient little plant, with an ability to open and close its petals according to the weather – a feat noted by Wordsworth in one of 3 poems celebrating the little plant. “There is a Flower, the Lesser Celandine, That shrinks, like many more, from cold and rain; And, at the first moment that the sun may shine, Bright as the sun itself, ‘tis out again!” (From To the Small Celandine, William Wordsworth) And like many of our native wildflowers it has traditional herbal uses. Also known as pilewort, it was once believed to be a remedy for haemorrhoids because of the knobbly-shaped tubers attached to the roots! Gardens can be a fantastic place for nurturing wildflowers and March is a great month to begin – for lots of inspiration on what to plant and where, check out Plantlife’s The Wildflower Garden web pages http://www.plantlife.org.uk/wildflower_garden

Join in the Big Conversation and have your say - it only takes a few minutes to fill in this survey from Campaign for National Parks, your opinion could make a big difference to the future of National Parks. #cnp80

Thank you to everyone who entered our competition by sending in their photos. We will be announcing the winner of phase 1 on Friday 18th March.
