This is a beautiful and quite area just outside the Brecon Beacons National Park. It is also a very quite not often visited part of the work. A stunning walking area with Iron Age Hill Forts, a trig point and cairn topped mountain tops amidst rolling hills on a high plateau. I adore the hills here and you can quite easy get a good hike out of it. Not to be confused with the Snowdonia Carneddau.
