Book now to enjoy an incredible tour of Wales' most iconic mountain!

Pen y Fan is the highest mountain in Southern Britain! Your small group 'Secret Pen y Fan' offers a thrilling adventure that takes you along tracks less travelled, with exciting climbs, descents to summits, and a picturesque lake.

Tour highlights

  • Pen y Fan is an iconic Welsh mountain with breathtaking views stretching to Devon and Somerset to the South, and to Cadair Idris to the North!
  • This walk is 11km long with a 600m ascent...you have been warned!
  • Following the Taff up to its source, you'll have the route all to yourselves. Some may get wet feet, so good boots are a must. Then it's the steep climb to Corn Du and onto Pen y Fan, where you'll soak in the views, hunt for the fossil beach, and snap some Instagram-worthy photos.
  • Next, it's off piste once again, and you'll have the mountain to yourselves as you hilariously slide down steep slopes on your backsides. This is a truly hilarious experience, don't forget your cameras!
  • You'll explore Llyn Cwm Llwch and uncover its mysteries before heading up to the poignant memorial of Tommy Jones, where your guide will share the true story behind this case.
