Autumn in the Brecon Beacons
As we move from summer to autumn, the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park slowly shows different kind of beauty. September and October bring changing colours to the mountains and valleys, crisp mornings, quieter walking trails and the perfect excuse to enjoy a cosy countryside escape.
Whether you are planning an autumn break in South Wales, a relaxing spa getaway or simply looking for things to do in the Brecon Beacons, Nant Ddu Lodge Hotel & Spa by Belvilla is the perfect place to experience the season at your own pace.
Explore the Brecon Beacons in Autumn
Autumn is one of the best times of year to get outdoors in the Bannau Brycheiniog. The cooler temperatures are ideal for walking, while the changing landscapes make every route feel a little more dramatic.
From mountain walks and woodland trails to reservoirs and waterfalls, there is plenty to discover close to the hotel. Whether you choose to take on iconic Pen y Fan or prefer a gentler stroll through the countryside, you can spend the day exploring before returning to the comfort of the lodge.
September and October also bring plenty of reasons to explore the local area. Brecon’s autumn calendar includes live music, theatre and local markets, including the Brecon Farmers & Makers Market in September. For those looking for something a little more adventurous, the annual Tydfilians Roman Run takes place September 5th, following the historic route between Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil. The infamous Dragon’s Back Race ultramarathon also passes by Merthyr on its final stage day.
Throughout the autumn, local events continue to offer new ways to experience the region, from guided walks and outdoor adventures to seasonal entertainment and cultural events. The nearby Brecon Mountain Railway is also hosting guided Ride & Ramble experiences during September and October, combining spectacular scenery with time spent exploring the mountains and valleys on foot.
