Mynydd Illtud
An extensive area of common land near Libanus. The common is an undulating plateau between 330 and 370 metres above sea level.
Get the T4 bus from Brecon to Libanus and walk up the lane which becomes a footpath part way up.
At the top is the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park Visitor Centre. It has toilets, cafe, and gift shop (check opening times).
As it was raining when I went I didn't take any pictures.
From there I walked back to the house. I didn't choose a very good route and I ended up walking part of the way along the grass verge of the A40. Looking at the map I think there might be better ways to walk back to the house but they all look as if they involve some road walking. If I am lucky enough to have another holiday at Brecon I will try to investigate more.

About This SiteHere is some information I have gathered together about getting to and walking from HF houses when leaving the car at home. On these pages I have also put some history about former HF houses I have visited. The information here is based on my visits to HF houses over the years. It may be out of date so don't rely on anything here without checking. If you find any errors why not let others know by putting a post on the HF Holiday Fans ( unofficial) Facebook forum. I will try to quote such posts here so they don't get lost. This is information I have discovered over the years which would have been useful to know before. Unfortunately the travel information on the HF website, for getting to houses by public transport, is poor. I think it would be better if the information on this page were on the HF website. |
