Parking & Access
Some areas fill quickly, so arriving early and knowing your options helps you get straight onto the hill.

Planning where to park makes your visit to Bannau Brycheiniog simple and stress-free. The park has no single entrance — instead a scattering of car parks, each serving a different corner of the landscape.
The short version: going to Pen y Fan? Head for Pont ar Daf. Full? Cross the road to Storey Arms. Chasing waterfalls? Cwm Porth. Everything else follows from there.
If you want the easiest options, start with these.
Best for Pen y Fan. Large car park with attendants and toilets on site, right on the A470. Often full by 9:30am on busy days.
The quick backup for Pen y Fan, just across the road from Pont ar Daf. Easy roadside access to Pen y Fan and Corn Du — but smaller, and it fills quickly.
Best for the waterfalls. The main entrance to Waterfall Country, with paid parking and toilets on site. Very busy in summer.
Arrive early, keep it simple, and have a backup — the effortless way to start your Brecon Beacons adventure.
