Time out in The Brecon Beacons

Advantages: Fresh air, Steam Train, Nature
Disadvantages: Hard Seats

The Brecon Mountain Railway

A narrow Gauge line That runs beside the Taff Fechan Reservoir in Wales.

The Station building at Pant is built into the side of the hill at the starting point of this railway. It is built mainly on the track bed of the old Brecon & Merthyr Railway. After this was closed, like so many others in the 60's the land was sold to local farmers.

When in 1972 an engineer was looking ...
...decided upon this area. He was unable to obtain the site of the original Pant Station so a new one with workshops was built slightly further down the hill.

The station opens at 09.30am and the first train is at 11.00am
The season is from end March to End of October. On some days in peak season the final daily train is at 05.00pm rather than at 04.00pm
Some days from April to June and again in October no trains are run.Timetable ... more

Review of Brecon Mountain Railway

Is it worth visiting?

Transport links

Family Friendly

Not Worth a Visit.

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: POOR VALUE & SAFETY CONCERNS.

I travelled with my family to this railway by car from the West Midlands in 2007,we found the fares and food prices in the cafe to be exorbitant and the cost for a day out here came to almost £200. POOR VALUE INDEED. We also found out that the company were in severe financial difficulties and were forced to make their highly skilled maintenance staff redundant to keep the railway afloat, apparently their highly skilled maintenance machinist who ...
...to go.The staff that remained there to keep the railway running seemed to be extremely anxious about the safety aspect of the railway from a maintenance point of view.When we were last there several years earlier, the loco actually came off the track,though no one was in any danger of being hurt,but it does make you wonder what the scenario would now be if there is a lack of maintenance at the railway. i certainly could not recommend a day out at ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Brecon Mountain Railway"

Lovely Llangorse

Advantages: Beautiful, friendly people, 3 pubs, water sports on the lake.
Disadvantages: Difficult to get out without a car, foot and mouth last summer.

reccomend Llangorse as a great place to stay. You get the best of both worlds-a stunning rural location, and lots to do. In the surrounding areas(if you have a car) there are The National Showcase Caves, which are well worth a visit, and the Brecon Mountain railway which is also good. You can also visit Hay on Wye (the village of books), which is an excellent day out if you like books! Public Transport is not very good from Llangorse; there is one bus a day (the post bus) to Brecon. It is great to have a bicycle when staying in Llangorse as I did. It is easy enough to cycle into Brecon, or to Hay on Wye if you are feeling adventerous! Brecon is a nice town with a fairly good selection of shops and lots of pubs. There are nice pubs alongside the river. It is also host to the Brecon Jazz Festival every August. Be warned though ...

Review of Bridgend in General

Royalty of camp sites!

Advantages: Gorgeous place, quiet, clean and friendly.
Disadvantages: The walk to the toilet!

and we only stayed four nights. Pencelli itself is a small village, which is very picturesque. There are major towns nearby, Abergavenny, Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil. The park is open almost all year round, they only shut for three weeks and that is in December! There is a lot to do in the surrounding area, as if the Brecon Beacons wasn't enough of a draw itself! Military Museum, Brecknock Museum, Theatre Brycheiniog, Tretower Court & Castle, Brecon Mountain Railway, Brecon Beacons National Park Visitor Centre and Canal Barge trips. I highly recommend this campsite to anyone. It is clean, reasonably priced, friendly, has good facilities and is situated in a fantastic place. What more could you possibly want! I have included some photographs so you can see just how gorgeous the area is. There are pictures of the meadow area ...

Review of Pencelli Castle Camp Site

Jazz and Chips in the Welsh Rain

Advantages: Beautiful landscape, plenty to do.
Disadvantages: Difficult to get around without a car, rain!

of Europe. I have been infored that there is a small club located opposite the George Hotel in Geroge Square. A reliable source has told me it is not exactly delightful. So save your partying and dance moves for Cardiff if I was you. Stick to drinking and nice meals whilst staying in Brecon. What attractions are there in the area? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * There is a canal, you can take an afternoon trip on a barge (costing £4/£2 children) which leaves from the canal basin outside the theatre. Yes, Brecon even has a theatre! * The Brecon mountain railway, which suspiciously is actually located in Mythrr Tydfil, not Brecon is worth a visit. It's a cute little train which leaves from a traditional old fashioned station. There are some great views, the train goes to a point and then ...
