Walk the Brecon Beacons is Bob Greaves’ Discovery Walking Guide exploring the best walking possibilities in the famous Welsh mountain range. The guide covers a range of walks within the Brecon Beacons National Park, from a gentle stroll around Usk Reservoir to a challenging four peaks in one day on the Grwynne Fawr route. The walks explore high peaks, glacial lakes, man-made reservoirs, canals and ancient castles, churches and monasteries. There are also short walk and stroll alternatives for those seeking more leisurely days out.

The guide describes a total of 40 GPS waymarked walking routes in the Brecon Beacons and each has been thoroughly researched. A detailed introduction provides information on the Brecon Beacons national park, where to stay, history, geology, weather, weather and a note about Welsh spelling. There is also useful guidance about map and walking information including details of walk location regional maps and using GPS in the Brecon Beacons. Each walk gives an overview of the route and colour keys indicating difficulty, times, total distance, vertigo risks, ascents and descents and if refreshments are available on route.

Appendices provide walkers with a summary of GPS Waypoints Lists, welsh place names, public transport and places to stay. Detailed walk descriptions are accompanied by 1:40,000 scale Ordnance Survey extracts mapping the route and GPS waypoints at every key point on the walk as well as colour photographs illustrating some of the highlights of each walk covered in the guide.
