The Brecon Beacons in mid Wales is well renowned for its stunning landscapes which provide both active and passive recreational opportunities for the visitor. Excellent walking, cycling, mountain biking and horse riding routes and trails are available to satisfy all ages and abilities. The Usk and Wye rivers provide for good canoeing and for the more adventurous, there are a range of opportunities for both rock climbing and caving. The area is a haven for wildlife and for birdwatchers, Red Kites soar around the Barn. Each season brings its own unique charms.

Local attractions include the highest mountain in southern Britain, Pen Y Fan, the historic Carreg Cennan Castle, Craig Y Nos Country Park and Brecon Cathedral. For explorers there are the delights of the Forest Fawr Geopark, Blaenavon World Heritage site and the picturesque waterfalls area.

Crai Valley offers peace and tranquility to restore the mind, body and soul. It has also been awarded the designation of a Dark Sky Discovery Site of the Milky Way Class, which means that there are fantastic views of the stars and in particular the Milky Way.

The barn affords access to a wide range of recreational opportunities such as walking, cycling, star gazing, bird and wildlife watching, canoeing, caving, photography and mountain biking. A comprehensive guest pack and maps are available and there is a star gazing pack available.
