The Brecon Beacons National Park
Pendarren House lies in the Brecon Beacons National Park, which was created in 1957 to protect the mountain landscape. It is predominently a rural mountainous landscape with scattered sheep farms, villages and a couple of small towns (Brecon and Hay on Wye). The Brecon Beacons include Pen y Fan, at 886m the highest mountain in southern Britain. The name Brecon Beacons dates back to a time when a chain of beacons on top of the mountains were lit as a sign of approaching enemy. The logo of the National Park depicts a flaming beacon.
