The Brecon Beacons in November offers everything from mountain biking thrills to holiday shopping, whisky tours, and quiet relaxation. Here are some curated experiences to make your autumn visit with us at Nant Ddu Lodge & Spa even more memorable.
Mountain Biking at BikePark Wales
Back by popular demand, BikePark Wales is offering a discounted afternoon uplift deal, perfect for families looking to hit the trails together. For only £35, one parent or guardian can bring a child under 16 to ride for free. The offer applies to the 12:30 – 3:30 p.m. uplift period and allows riders to explore BikePark Wales’ thrilling mountain trails. If you have additional young riders, you can add them on the day for a small additional, subject to availability. It’s a great opportunity to experience the trails and share an afternoon of excitement with your kids! Find out more about the deal and this world class bike facility HERE. Only a few miles down the road, make us your post-ride stopover.
Relax and Rejuvenate at our Spa
Nothing complements an active day quite like a relaxing spa session, and this month are offering an exclusive half-day spa package for £69 per person, Monday through Friday. Indulge in a 50-minute treatment of your choice—either the signature full-body massage or an Elemis Pro Glow Facial. The package includes access to all spa facilities, a £10 lunch credit, and use of a cozy robe, towel, and slippers. For those looking for a shorter experience, there are also 25-minute treatments, including massages and scrubs. Definitely something to look into if you are staying with us, and the perfect way to relax and refresh as we head in to the festive season! Discover more about our spa HERE.
Discover Penderyn Distillery
Explore the art of Welsh whisky-making with a tour at the renowned Penderyn Distillery, located just a few miles from us here at Nant Ddu. The hour-long guided experience includes a walk through the distillery’s mash tun, mill, and unique copper pot stills, showcasing the meticulous process behind Penderyn’s award-winning single malt whisky. The tour concludes in the Tasting Bar, naturally, where you can sample a selection of Penderyn’s finest whiskies. Open seven days a week, it’s an ideal stop to warm up and learn more about a modern Welsh icon. How’s that for winter warmer? Learn more and book a tour HERE.
Royal Welsh Winter Fair
For a festive start to the holiday season, the Royal Welsh Winter Fair in Llanelwedd offers two full days of competitions, exhibitions, and shopping on November 25th and 26th.

Browse the Food Hall, where Welsh producers showcase the best of local fare, from gourmet cheeses to artisan meats, and get a taste of our regional culinary delights. It’s a great spot to find unique Christmas gifts, including handmade crafts, decor, and more.
