We're off to Pencelli (sp?) in the Brecon Beacons next week.

I've not been to the area before - any suggestions for days out/activities? We've got 2 young (6 and 4) kids, so we hope to do a few short walks and the weather is looking ropey (if you can believe the forecasts).

Any suggestions greatly appreciated...

take a trip along the canal, ride bikes on tow path, llangorse lake not too far away, go up to the mountain centre.

its a beautiful area, brecon has a leisure centre, crickhowel is nice on the river you may find a shallow spot to paddle.

drive up past the resevoire ( sorry i cant spell it ) and then take a short walk to the waterfall.

your children are very young so just enjoy the scenery. i think pencelli has a nice play area.

good luck have a great time, its one of my favourite places.

If you go back when the children are older try the climbing centre at Llangorse.  Their activity sessions are brilliant and suitable from 6 years, I think. 

What about a pony ride?  You can book a short session, led by an instructor.  There are lots of stables around (including at the Llangorse centre but we haven't done riding there so can't comment on that particular one).

Tracey, You'll enjoy the Brecon Mountain Railway. It's an awesome ride clinging to the side of the mountain looking down on the rewsevoir below.....Mick
