Talybont Resevoir

Going South towards Merthyr Tydfil, the Taff Trail runs in the woodland on the South East side of the Talybont Reservoir. It follows the long steady gradient climbing some 250m to the summit. This is the Seven Mile Bank of the former Brecon and Merthyr Railway.

Going North towards Brecon, cyclists and walkers divide, with walkers continuing along the path on the same side of the valley down to Talybont-on-Usk. Part of this route follows the Brinore Tramroad.

How to Get There:

Turn off the A40 following signs for Talybont-on-Usk between Brecon and Bwlch. Once in Talybont-on-Usk follow signs for Talybont reservoir.
