Works included improving the existing facilities at Pont ar Daf, creating a fit-for-purpose car park from which visitors can access the iconic Brecon Beacons.

With the addition of new visitor facilities, the popular countryside parking spot welcomes starting point for the 350,000 people who walk up Pen y Fan each year. The new and improved car park adds 200 more spaces, giving visitors access to a total of nearly 260 safe car parking spaces away from the busy A470 road.

Disabled parking spaces provided alongside parking provision for minibuses, coaches and cyclists and an area for the emergency services and other similarly related users of the Beacons.

The new visitor facilities includes toilets with disabled access, a changing places toilet, and baby changing facilities, some of which are available 24 hours a day. Improvements to signage, footpaths and information also allows people to better plan their day.

Redevelopment of the site was carried out in a sustainable way, using local businesses and materials where possible and designed to be in keeping with the natural surroundings of the area and designated landscape of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Electric vehicle charging points, the establishment of trees throughout, space for those choosing to travel by bus or by bike and areas to accommodate further sustainable transport solutions supports a greener future for Pont ar Daf.

The project has been made possible thanks to part funding by the Welsh Government through the Visit Wales Tourism Investment Support Scheme.
