Brecon Beacons Stargazing

The Brecon Beacons is one of the best places in the UK to observe our dark skies and for stargazing. During July we were so very lucky to experience a spell of clear skies just as the comet NEOWISE was passing. This particular comet was visible to the naked eye which makes it a particularly rare occurance.

Wales has an impressive number of castles and the Brecon Beacons on Soth Wales has some beautiful examples. They may not be the biggest or more well known but still offer an insight into life back then.

The Three Horseshoes Groesfford, just outside Brecon, has always been one of my favourite places to eat in the Brecon Beacons. Having just visited I know why they were recently awarded 2 rosettes for culinary excellence by the AA.

Hills Brecon Wales

If you are looking for a burger with a difference then you should visit Hills Brecon . It is situated just outside Bishop's Meadows on the outskirts of Brecon. It is a light airy place having had a big makeover from the old caravan park restaurant. You can choose to sit at the restaurant tables or in the bar area with smaller tables and frankly a bit quieter. They only use the best beef from a well known local supplier. you cah choose from the monthly specials or build your own.

It was decided to preserve and share the experience of the Welsh miner in a museum. Real miners take you 90 metres underground in the same cage as they used though thankfully quite a bit slower.
