A fabulous morning well spent being guided by Dorian through the history, legends & myths of The Brecons. It was a great insight to the local area. Very well organised & set at a lovely pace. The views were incredible but made all the more interesting learning about their importance & value to the local area. A very worthy 5 star activity.

Super experience! Dorian has a lot of knowledge about Wales and shared some of his stories, information and experiences. He made the walk interesting for all of us. The walk itself was nice and easy but took us to a hill fort with wonderful views. Highly recommended.
