About this site
A quiet layby pull-off on the edge of the Brecon Beacons with stunning mountain views across open moorland. No facilities, but a favourite overnight for self-contained vans heading into the national park.
Arrive before dusk, keep noise low, and take all waste with you. Popular with hikers — the Pen y Fan trailhead is a short drive away.
