Because of its location, Talybont enjoys dark skies making star gazing a real possibility.
Brecon Beacons National Park is only the fifth destination in the world to be granted international dark sky reserve status. Our Park has some of the highest quality dark skies in the whole of the UK, making it the perfect destination for stargazers. For more information click here.
