Hiking the Pen Y Fan Horseshoe - Brecon Beacons┋Wales Hike

The Pen Y Fan Horseshoe AKA Brecon Beacon Horseshoe is one of the most beautiful hikes I have ever come across. The route I solo hiked totalled 11 miles with 900+metres of elevation gain. This is a great day out in wales and should definitely be on your best UK Hikes wish list!

This was my first time visiting the Brecon Beacons and it was awesome! Pen Y Fan and all the other peaks are so so beautiful, I hope this video inspires you to go and check them out yourself 🥾✨ Where should I go next?

[@chandiuduwawala3717]

I visited South Wales recently and went on a few walks. If you wanted more places to walk in Wales, I’d recommend doing one of the longer Waterfall walks in the Brecon Beacons or going to Pembrokeshire and potentially doing the Marloes Sands Coastal Path. Both were beautiful!

[@DavidPMcEntee]

@Chandi Uduwawala Those sound great I'll have a look at them! I think I'd like to start doing some real overnight Thru hikes soon too! 😁

[@chandiuduwawala3717]

great video mate. how long did it take from the car park up to Corn Du & Pen Y Fan?

[@TomAndJoeVlogsTJOutdoors]

Great video David, you certainly are great at making relaxing hiking films! Brilliantly shot and edited as always. Done a very similar, if not the same, Route last year and it is one of my favourite to date! So much good views to take in along the way and wasn’t too hard of a climb. Keep up your good work, really enjoying your channel at the minute. All the best, Cheers Joe! 👍🏻

[@DavidPMcEntee]

Thanks Joe I’m so happy you liked it! Hahaha I’m glad you think so - I wasn’t sure how that cocky claim would come off 😂 Haha! It was such an awesome walk, so beautiful and peaceful! Thanks for your continuous support it does mean a lot!🥳 More coming very soon! Dave✨

@@DavidPMcEntee no problem! We really enjoy making outdoor content also

[@timvoliva2269]

I completed this hike in 2009. It's one of the most beautiful and challenging hikes in all of Europe. I fell into a deep sleep that night after completing the full route. If you ever find yourself in Colorado, give the Manitou Springs Incline a try.

Thank you Phil! I'll keep it coming mate, cheers! :)

I've just found you as I'm looking to hike much more this year as I really enjoy it and Pen y Fan is on my list for this year. I didn't realise there was a walk that took in several, it looks awesome.

[@SummitSearcher]

Really enjoying your videos. Brilliantly shot and edited. Just starting my ‘adventurer journey’ and watching videos like this really helps in planning kit & routes. Thanks David.

Nice little hike. Very similar style to what I’m doing too, but cool unique touches you have with a bit of commentary and words graphics

[@DavidPMcEntee]

Thanks mate!! 🥳🥳

[@oldhippiejon]

A view we see from our back door every morning, come back again David.

[@trebornoican]

Amazing cinematic hike video bro. Very relaxing.

[@DavidPMcEntee]

Thank you! Exactly what I hoped for 😁🥳

[@JonnyPsyclo]

I think this is the most visually impressive video you have done for us yet! Really great to watch and again... Making my hiking boots call to me to be used!! I did a 22km (ish) hike from Hunstanton last week. You don't get the massive hills but you still find little tucked away places and always surprises me how interesting everything is when you give it a few minutes without rushing past. From sand dunes, to mountains and marshland to fields... There's more to discover if you give it the time of day.

[@DavidPMcEntee]

Thank you Jonathan!! With every video I make I always do my best to make it better then the last, I spent a lot more time on the color grade of this abs obviously got a lot more drone shots then I have in the past! I’m thinking of going back to a place more local to me next just to challenge myself again and see if I can make Herts/bucks/Bedfordshire look visually appealing! Your hike sounds lovely I’ve never been to that side of England before, I might have to check it out soon!!🥳

[@holliebryant3436]

Watched this 2 days ago and organised my first ever solo trip today! I'm so excited, thank you for the inspiration!

[@DavidPMcEntee]

Thanks Hollie!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and was inspired! Solo hiking is safer then people think, just make sure you bring enough supplies , send your route to at least two different people, check in with someone once or twice in the day (you get signal at the top of most mountains) and if you want to go that extra mile of safety you could send your live location to a close friend so they can track your progress!! Best of luck with it 😁🥳

[@openmindedwonderer]

Amazing video, so glad you got the views, it was cloudy when I did it and you could hardly see a thing.

[@DavidPMcEntee]

Thanks mate! It was an incredible sight I have to say! I got very very lucky 🥳

[@TheBigBigBlues]

Great video once again. Amazing landscapes! I wonder how easy it is to get those drone shots with wind and presumably little space to land?

[@DavidPMcEntee]

It’s not easy!! Hahaha but slow and steady wins the race, I try to pick my moments carefully! Thanks for the support Andrew, I really appreciate it mate 👊🔥

[@tracielillytan1530]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your amazing day of walking in such a lovely place.

Thank you pal! It was brilliant thanks, I loved exploring it - I cant wait to get back there soon! :) Thanks for watching!

[@joannacarter5497]

I love watching your videos, keep them coming! It must take you an age to do these hikes seeing as you are camera man, voiceover guy, drone pilot and chef all rolled into one 😅

[@DavidPMcEntee]

Thanks Joanna! I'm so glad you enjoy watching them! 😁 hahaha yes it does to be honest! Thats why I don't often share the time it takes me to do the hikes - with all the filming / flying / cooking it normally packs on 2-3 more hours! I hope to get that lower in the future but for now I don't mind it 😁 Thanks for your support!!!!

Hahaha yes it’s quite busy but you’ve got to just brave the crowd for that one section of the hike, the rest of it was lovely and quiet for me!🥳

[@martinrees6589]

The correct title is the Tâf Fechan horseshoe as there are at least 3 other horseshoes based on Pen y Fan. You omitted to mention Craig GwaunTâf,the third highest peak in BBNP and now a Nuttall. It would only take a few minutes to ask someone how to pronounce Corn Du,Pen y Fan and Fan y Bîg.
