What to do.
Book an adventure activity with Black Mountain
Adventure p67 who can help you take to the water on a
paddle board or in canoe from Glasbury on Wye to
Hay-on-Wye. If you like your water warmer Riverside
International p71 in Bronllys have a pool and jacuzzi open
to the general public.
Take a walk in the Black Mountains or saddle up with
Tregoyd Mountain Riders p73. Choose whether to hire a
bike or an ebike for the day, you can also hire a guide to
help find the choicest routes at Drover Cycles p65.
Dogs can roam free at The Whole Yard p71 - book a
session on their website. With so much livestock in fields
and on the hills, this is the safest way to keep your canine
friends happy and safe when they are off the lead. While
you are in Talgarth why not take a tour of Talgarth Mill p58
Run by a dedicated team of volunteers, the mill is a Grade
II listed 18thC flour mill located in the heart of the town .
Outside the Park but worth the drive are the gorgeous
Elan Valley Lakes p57 and visitor centre. You can see the
reservoirs which provide water for many people’s taps in
the Midlands and in Wales. There are easy to access walks
and bike hire available.
