Work has begun on a new car park at the foot of one of Wales' most popular tourist sites. Construction is now underway on a new, expanded car park at Pont ar Daf on the A470 at the foot of Pen y Fan as the number of people visiting the site continues to grow.
The plans, first announced in April, include around 200 extra car parking spaces with provision for disabled users, electric vehicle charging points, parking for minibuses, coaches and cyclists and an area for the emergency services. They also include new visitor facilities including toilets with disabled access, a Changing Places toilet and baby changing facilities as well as improvements to signage and footpaths.
National Trust said it needs to build the car park to cope with demand with more than 350,000 people visiting Pen y Fan every year.
