The Brecon Beacons National Park holds UNESCO Global Geopark status, recognising its extraordinary geological heritage. The landscape tells a story spanning over 480 million years, shaped by ancient seas, tropical swamps, glaciers, and shifting earth movements.

From dramatic limestone pavements and fossil-rich rocks to deep caves and glacial valleys, the park showcases a diverse range of geological features. Each layer of rock reveals clues to past climates, ecosystems, and the forces that formed this remarkable terrain.

This designation highlights not only the park’s natural beauty but also its importance for education, conservation, and sustainable tourism.
