Brecon is one of the most historic locations in Wales nestling in the heart of the Brecon Beacons and situated at the confluence of the rivers Usk and Honddu. During the Napoleonic wars, French prisoners were incarcerated in the town and some of the town's medieval walls still survive, the area called Captain's Walk marks the place where the prisoners exercised. 

The Brecon Beacons National Park was designated in 1957 and is surrounded by traditional Welsh towns and stunning landscape. The scenery is very diverse from the rolling countryside and valleys to splendid waterfalls and caves. If you want to have a go at an outdoor activity there are plenty of centres which hire equipment and teach new skills.
