Parking charges for people visiting Pen y Fan have officially come into force this week. The National Trust-owned Pont ar Daf car park began charging visitors a flat fee of £7.50 to park there as of Monday, June 5.
The busy car park adjacent to the main A470 between Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil is popular for walkers coming to climb Pen y Fan. Last year a number of improvements were announced for the car park including adding 200 extra spaces and creating more disabled parking spaces, toilets with disabled access and baby changing facilities, and electric vehicle charging points.
The new-look car park, which is mostly completed and open, also includes parking provision for minibuses, coaches, and cyclists and an area for the emergency services and other similar users of the area as well as footpaths and information to allow people to better plan their day.
