10 Amazing National Parks in the U.K. for Gorgeous Views, Wildlife, and Unforgettable Hikes
"Like a number of national parks in the U.K., Brecon Beacons is almost as renowned for its cultural footprint as it is for its hiking footfall. That's because this pretty corner of South Wales — broad valleys, ancient woodlands, and sharp mountaintops — is also home to the revered Hay Festival, which is held annually in a tented village and brings together some of the world's most exciting creative voices in literature and arts. For the rest of the year, it's all about the rugged wilds, with one mountain in particular — the remarkably photogenic Pen Y Fan — attracting most of the attention and hikers." - Travel + Leisure Editors
