A guide to walks illustrating the karst landforms and some accessible caves within the Brecon Beacons National Park

A wide diversity of rock types are found in the Brecon Beacons National Park, from sandstone and conglomerates to mudstones and limestones, but it is the solubility of limestone in water that lends a particularly distinctive character to the landscape, which is characterised by limited surface drainage and the development of underground drainage routes, or caves. Through a series of excursions across various parts of the limestone outcrop, this guide highlights and explains some of the karst features within the National Park
