Brecon Beacons Mountain Centre

The Centre was opened in 1966 and funded by the Carnegie Trust and was overseen by the local council and the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority.

Its aim was to provide an information centre for tourists and visitors to the National Park regarding the mountains, the local towns and the countryside and enable them all to better interpret the area.

The facility is now wholly owned and managed by the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority.

[1] From the grounds and in particular from the terrace there are good views of the two highest peaks in the Brecon Beacons, Pen y Fan and Corn Du.

There is a three-dimensional relief map of the entire National Park and a geological display featuring the various rock types of the area.
