The National Showcaves of Wales at Dan-yr-Ogof are only a couple of minutes down the road from Pentre Riding Stables. The centre at Dan-yr-Ogof includes 3 cave complexes, the famous dinosaur park, shire horse centre, and an animal park with llamas and South American maras.

Henrhyd Waterfall, shown on the left, has an uninterrupted 90ft drop, making it the highest waterfall in South Wales. Only 3 miles away, the falls can easily be walked to, and the stables also provides a Special Ride there that can be booked in advance.

High up in the Black Mountains are the lakes of Llyn-y-Fan Fawr and Llyn-y-Fan Fach. The lakes can be reached by a 2km hike from the Trecastle direction, or by taking one of our Special Rides.

In the hills behind Craig-y-Nos lies Penwyllt, a former industrial community, now with the remains of a Victorian quarry, and the railway station formerly on the Brecon line, where Adelina Patti used to alight.

The Ynyscedwyn Ironworks are located in the nearby town of Ystradgynlais, and in their day were world leaders in the technology of working iron. The arches are an iconic symbol of Ystradgynlais, and the park around them includes other preserved examples of industrial machinery.
