Brecon Beacons

Our week in Wales was often damp, however we walked along the canal side to Brecon itself. A lovely walk and not too wet or muddy. Then we visited Talgarth where the water mill has been restored and is again milling flour. The cafe uses it to make their own bread. Just upstream from the mill is a little waterfall.

The mill gear ( in motion) is based on the design it would have had in 1860, with alternating wood and metal to lessen risk of fire.

Next day was cold and threatening rain so we went on the Brecon Mountain railway, and walked from its station at Pontsticill, returning to catch a later train back to the station at Pant.

For those who have followed our other blogs this is 'not the FEVE'.

From the train it is possible to see the highest peak south of Snowdonia - Pen Y Fan, which we later climbed.
