Did a pit stop at Raglan on the way, with its impressive castle ruins. If your ever that way and feeling peckish try the little cafe up the track and round the back of the castle - recommended.
OK so the Travel Lodge at Merthyr might not be as impressive but its cheap, cheerful, surrounded by pubs n eateries and opposite a cinema n sports complex - what more do you need!
One of the focal points was the waterfall walks around Pontneddfechan. It is an ideal place to walk along one of the many paths to the waterfalls and to visit the mysterious remains of the gunpowder works and silica mines which hint at the history of activity and industry that once filled this enchanting place.
But these were just a prelude to the amazing frozen falls that littered the Beacons.
Whilst the valleys were relatively clear of snow there was plenty in the Brecon Beacons which made for some spectacular landscapes.
And, of course, the Brecon steam trains with their mountain runs and easter egg hunts :)
