Cambrian Mountains
Area of Astounding Natural Beauty
The Cambrian Mountains rise up in the very heart of Wales, a place where hills, river valleys
and meadows have sustained life for millennia.
Surrounded by the counties of Ceredigion, Powys and Carmarthenshire, and encircled by three national parks, this is a landscape which is steeped in Welsh history and heritage, and where agriculture, language and culture are entwined.

On a clear day, from Pumlumon Fawr (2468ft/752m), where the River Severn and Wye rise, the Llŷn Peninsula and the highest peaks of Snowdonia can be seen to the north, the summits of the Brecon Beacons to the east, and the Preseli Mountains and the full sweep of Cardigan Bay to the west.

A shooting star over the snowy crags of Pumlumon Fawr. The moon’s shadow to add a bit of atmosphere. It’s winter in the Cambrian Mountains. #cambrianmountains #cymru #wales #areaofastoundingnaturalbeauty #snow #winter #pumlumonfawr

Last month we supported the 4th Cambrian Mountains Food Drink & Craft Fair at the Cwm Elan Visitor Centre near Rhayader.
With funding from the UK Government/ Growing Mid Wales and @powyscc the event attracted nearly a 1000 people to the valley. 18 local producers welcomed visitors from across the UK and abroad with an incredible live cooking demonstration with @nerys_howell and live music by @ghbonello_ffoto and @tobyhayguitar

Our friend the Orion constellation returns to the night skies this time of year. A recognisable feature of the autumn and winter night sky(top right of the video).
Can you guess where it’s ‘flying’ over?

Do you recognise this view?
Valley views don’t get much better than this in the Cambrian Mountains. Hydref is still with us and it’s quite mild for the time of year.
