Pen-y-Fan is one of the most famous mountains in Wales up there with the likes of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon).

More than 500,000 people travel to the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park every year to climb Pen-y-Fan - which stands at just under 3,000 feet tall.

The iconic mountain - which is based in the heart of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park just south of Brecon - is extremely popular amongst tourists and hikers, as is evident by its 5 out of 5 rating on Tripadvisor from 1,008 reviews.

Visitors have described Pen-y-Fan as "my favourite place", "amazing" and "special".

One person, commenting on Tripadvisor, said: "I've loved this place for years and am a regular visitor, I took my daughter recently to watch the sunrise from the top and what a great way to start the day!

"Beautiful views, friendly people and amazing scenery. Take another layer for the top as it can get chilly up there, steep climb but worth it!"

While another added: "Climbed Pen-y fan on a lovely clear Sunday. Climb not too bad found it harder coming down.

"The views from the top were amazing and worth the trek. Went quite early in the morning to avoid crowds."

But not everyone seems to agree with the high praise for Pen-y-Fan.
