Fan Hir

The walk up Fan Hir rewards you with one of the Brecon Beacons' finest panoramic views - on a clear day you can see right across to the Black Mountains and beyond. It's a proper hill rather than a gentle stroll, but nothing that will leave you gasping for breath if you're reasonably fit. The summit sits at 886 metres and the approach from the south is the most straightforward route, taking roughly two hours up and back depending on your pace.

Walkers will absolutely get the most from this one. Families with older kids who don't mind a bit of elevation gain will find it rewarding; younger children might struggle with the ascent. History buffs should know this sits within an area loaded with Iron Age fortifications and ancient settlements, though the peak itself is fairly bare once you're up there.

It's free to visit and there's no gate or entrance - you park up near the base and head off on foot. Weather matters enormously here; grey cloud can roll in quickly and visibility drops to a few metres. Go when you've got clear skies forecast, preferably earlier in the day.

If you're camping at Brecon Beacons Camping & Caravan Park or glamping at Aber Glamping - both within a few miles - Fan Hir fits perfectly into a walking-focused break. It's the sort of walk you do for the summit view rather than the path itself, so pick your moment and you'll leave properly satisfied.
