It is Wales, it will rain. Here are the best rainy day plans near Brecon View, from show caves and glasshouses to cosy market towns.
Honestly? This is Wales, and it will rain at some point. The good news is that a rainy day near Brecon View can be just as good as a sunny one.
Dan yr Ogof Showcaves
About half an hour away in the Upper Swansea Valley, this huge cave system is one of the best rainy day trips in South Wales. Underground, the weather does not matter at all.
The Great Glasshouse
The National Botanic Garden of Wales, around 30 minutes away, is home to the Great Glasshouse, filled with Mediterranean plants from around the world. Warm, bright and dry, whatever it is doing outside.
Waterfalls in the rain
This is the secret. Waterfalls are at their most spectacular after heavy rain. Pull on waterproofs and head to Henrhyd Falls, the tallest waterfall in the Brecon Beacons, for a short but thrilling walk.
Llandeilo
A slow morning in Llandeilo, browsing independent shops and ducking into a café, is a perfect way to spend a wet day.
Or just stay in
Honestly, a rainy day is the best excuse to do what the lodges were built for. The hot tub is even better in the rain. Light a candle, cook something slow, and let the weather do its thing. If you are staying at Love Nest, save the outdoor cinema for when it clears.
