Ruth here again! We managed to escape for a day to taste and see Brecon and the glorious Brecon Beacons. We live so near and needed to remind ourselves of all that is on offer for our guests visiting this area. On the 40 minute drive from Holt Farm you get a great view of Hay Bluff and Lord Hereford's Knob which hide the entrance to the Gospel Pass running down to Llanthony Abbey. Before you approach Brecon the Beacons stand out for miles. We took a tour of the area north of Brecon to hunt out where Gordon's father had lived as a youngster and came upon these fabulous views below! The Mountain Centre just south of the town offers more panoramic views from the Information Centre and Cafe. After a delicious lunch we headed home taking in a view of the canal. If time had allowed we might even have put the walking boots on and tackled Pen Y Fan!
