Craig-y-Nos Castle is free for entry to the public, and has a free car-park amongst its outbuildings, located between the castle and the nearby paddock.

In the past, Craig-y-Nos Castle has been home to Victorian opera star, Adalina Pattie, a close friend of King Edward VII, and was later a children's hospital, and then a geriatric hospital, before being bought and restored to some of its former glory in recent decades.

Craig-y-Nos Country Park is free for entry to the public, but the on-site car park costs £1.50 for 2 hours, or £2.50 for all day.

Part of the Brecon Beacons National Park, Craig-y-Nos Country Park was sold by the castle owners in a past decade, and is not owned by Craig-y-Nos Castle.

The stone circles at Dan-yr-Ogof are free for entry to the public, and have a free car-park.

Roaming free amongst the stones are llamas, sheep, goats, ponies, geese and emus. Available for viewing in nearby enclosures are a fantastic array of rabbits, and the beautiful maras, animals from South America.

The country park is free for entry to the public, and has a free car-park at the bottom.

A beautiful walk amidst the trees and waterfalls of the Brecon Beacons National Park, in Cwm Giedd. The river and streams which join the Tawe in Ystradgynlais, provide some very picturesque views. A picnic area and information board are located at the bottom.

Penwyllt is in the hills behind Craig-y-Nos and includes a free parking area.

The quarry is still privately-owned, and is not for public access, though the old buildings and workings can largely be viewed from the road, as can the old railway bridge, indicating where the line to Brecon ran. The old railway station and platform are open for the public to wander around and provide a very interesting and picturesque setting.

The Henrhyd Falls have free parking at the entrance, by the road.

Located in a wooded and picturesque gorge, the Henrhyd Falls present an inspiring sight, with the water cascading down from above to join the River X, flowing down to Z. Please note that sections of the walk are rather steep and would be awkward for people with difficulties walking.
