12 dog friendly walks in the Brecon Beacons, from gentle valley paths to proper fell days out. All hand-picked for dog owners who want wide open country and honest notes on what each walk is actually like with a dog in tow.

Cribarth (The Sleeping Giant)
Powys
Excellent off-lead moorland walking with no livestock concerns and fascinating industrial history; Craig-y-Nos Country Park adds good facilities at the doorstep.

Tair Carn Isaf
Carmarthenshire
Spacious open moorland with genuine off-lead freedom and no livestock concerns; gentler than nearby Pen y Fan and rewarding at every pace.
Brecon Beacons: Sugar Loaf from Abergavenny
Monmouthshire
A short, sharp climb up Abergavenny's iconic Sugar Loaf, a dog friendly hill walk with grand views and easy off-lead grazing land at the top.

Craig y Cilau and Llangattock Escarpment
Powys
A dog friendly walk along the dramatic Llangattock Escarpment to the limestone cliffs and old quarries of Craig y Cilau Nature Reserve, with stunning views over the Usk Valley.
Gareg Llwyd and Carreg yr Ogof
Carmarthenshire
Genuine wilderness walking with outstanding off-lead potential and no livestock concerns; the length and remoteness demand respect and good navigation.

Llyn y Fan Fach and Llyn y Fan Fawr
Carmarthenshire
Two glacial lakes with excellent water access and high off-lead potential across the upper moorland; the steep cwm descent demands care in wet conditions.

Pen y Fan from the Neuadd Reservoir
Powys
A spectacular dog friendly horseshoe taking in the four highest peaks of the Bannau Brycheiniog from a quieter southern start point.
Sgwd yr Eira Waterfall Walk, Brecon Beacons
Powys
A dog friendly waterfall walk in Bannau Brycheiniog Waterfall Country, with the unique experience of walking behind the cascading curtain of Sgwd yr Eira.

Blorenge Circular Walk from Govilon
Monmouthshire
A steep dog friendly climb from the Mon and Brec Canal at Govilon up onto the open moorland of the Blorenge, with sweeping views over Abergavenny and the Sugar Loaf.
Brecon Beacons: Waun Fach and Pen y Gadair Fawr
Powys
A long, demanding Black Mountains horseshoe over two of the highest peaks in the range, a dog friendly mountain walk on remote and often boggy ground.

Four Waterfalls Walk (Ystradfellte)
Powys
Four spectacular waterfalls in a magical limestone valley with abundant water access; slippery paths near the falls and sheep in adjacent fields require care.

Taf Fechan Horseshoe Ridge Walk
Merthyr Tydfil
A serious mountain day linking four Brecon Beacons summits with real exposure and technical terrain; scarce water and limited off-lead make this demanding for dogs.
