Pen y Fan Horseshoe Ridge Circular Walk | Brecon Beacons

The Horseshoe Ridge walk is probably my favourite walk in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. It's a challenging 10 mile circular walk that involves climbing the four peaks of Corn Du, Pen y Fan (the highest peak in southern Britain), Cribyn and Fan y Big. Pen Y Fan and Corn Du were also bronze age burial sites and each summit has a cairn on top, it has a mystical feel to it up there. Once on top of these summits you will have magnificent views stretching for miles in all directions. You can start the Horseshoe Ridge from the Neuadd Car Park, Taf Fechan Forest (SO 036 169) For me this is the best place to start the walk, it offers you splendid views as you walk up Neuadd Valley and along the ridge above Graig Fan Ddu. If you are planning on doing this walk, I would suggest that you wear good walking boots, and pack waterproofs and warm gear; the weather can be very unpredictable and can change quickly, even in the summer months. A map and compass should also be taken (OS map: Explorer OL12; Landranger 160). I have added links below for the OS Maps App, Grid Reference OS, what maps you'll need, the route and Mountain Rescue.
