This walk encompasses the four main peaks of the Central Beacons.
Starting from the Car Park, we traverse the head of the Lower Neuadd Reservoir
before embarking on the initial ascent to reach the ridge.
Following the ridge, we approach our first summit, Corn Du,
then proceed to Pen y Fan and Cribyn before descending into the Windy Gap.
After another ascent, we summit Fan Y Big.
The route then descends to the Roman Road, which we follow back to the car park.
This is a challenging mountain hike with numerous ascents and descents.
However, the exertion is well-rewarded by some of the finest mountain vistas in South Wales.
Because of the remote location of the starting point it is essential that you book on with the Walk Leader in advance.
