The Brecon Beacons National Park covers 519 square miles and is both beautiful and diverse, with rolling countryside and valleys, wide open hillsides and wildly beautiful forests, lakes, waterfalls and caves.

Renowned travel guide Lonely Planet has name-checked the Welsh attraction along with seven other national parks in European destinations like Iceland, Norway and Greece.

They are all included in Lonely Planet's new title The Best Things in Life are Free
