Camping in Brecon needs to be done, anyway, with the plethora of picturesque river valleys, the soletude of the vales and the rounded beauty of the rolling hills enchanting visitors year on year. Well, what better way to get beneath the skin of this magical environment than through the enchanting power of steam on the Brecon Mountain Railway . These holiday parks, touring grounds and campsites near Brecon Mountain Railway will provide you with great access to this scenic heritage line running from Pant near Merthyr Tydfil along the full length of the Pontsticill Reservoir toTorpantau, high in the Brecon Beacons. The history of steam is warmly and proudly celebrated in this area, Methyr Tydfil being the site of the world's first train being hauled by a steam locomotive, built by Richard Trevithick in 1804. There are two steam locomotives being used on the Brecon Mountain Railway; 'Graf Schwerin-Lowitz' 0-6-2, built in Germany in 1908; 'No.2' 4-6-2 which was made in the U.S.A in 1930. After your half hour journey through cuttings from Pant, you will reach Pontsticill. Alight here and explore the stunning scenery on foot - the walking is famous. The station at Pontsticill is lake-side, picturesque in the extreme. And, when you have taken in the magnificent setting, pop into the new steam museum located at the station for more insights into the history of the line and locomotives.Campsites in Brecon Search through this listing of Brecon campsites to find your perfect pitch, using the details on each site's listing to find the facilities that you and your family require.
