Capability Brown Walk

As well as seeing views of the park and house framed by specimen of nearly 300 ancient trees, you might catch sight of some of the fallow deer that live here. Autumn is the rutting season, when the males (bucks) have very impressive antlers that they use to fight for the females.

And your Winter adventures doesn’t stop after Christmas, why not continue the adventure into New Year’s?

Star Gazing in the Brecon Beacons

The Brecon Beacons National Park became an International Dark Sky Reserve in 2012. This is because of the quality of the region’s dark skies. The Milky Way is easily seen crossing the skies on moonless nights. Local accommodation providers offer plenty of “stay-and-gaze” options. The scenic landscapes make for amazing astrophotography opportunities.
