About Anchorage Park’s Location

Anchorage Park benefits from being at the edge of the Brecon Beacons.  This popular Welsh national park offers hilly walks and green pastures for visitors to traverse.  The site is also just down the road from local village scenes in Llyswen, Boughrood, Three Cocks and Talgarth.  Local pubs and restaurants should therefore never be too far away.  Visitors may also wish to visit nearby Brecon, with a leisure centre, replete with sports equipment and a bowling alley.

Anchorage Park is South-facing, which means that residents should be able to expect plenty of sunshine throughout the warmer months.  The park will also allow visitors to see the Black Mountains from afar, though they are always free to explore them up close.

Anchorage Park is based off several A-roads in the local area, from the A470 heading down towards Erwood, and the A479 heading down towards Talgarth.  It is just a few minutes’ drive from the centre of Brecon itself, breaking off the A40 up towards Felinfach and Talgarth.

Visitors will be able to explore the local region and attractions easily from the park entrance.  There is a local bus stop which will connect holidaymakers to the wider villages and towns, as well as across the other side of the Brecon Beacons.  It is also possible to explore much of the local greenery and scenery on foot.  The Brecon Beacons also make way for the Afan Forest Park, another local site of green land which visitors will be able to reach through main roads close to the park itself. 

Anchorage Park is central for many holiday purposes, though it may appeal mainly to those looking for countryside trails and long walks.
