Brecon Beacons
The Brecon Beacons was the last of Wales' national parks to be so dedicated, being established in 1957.
Its area is vast, covering 519 square miles of upland moors, mountains, woodland, forest and valleys from Hay-on-Wye in the east to Llandeilo in the west.
One of the most noticeable species at home in the park are Welsh mountain ponies, but there are many other - smaller - animals of great interest.
Birds of prey such as peregrine falcons, red kites, sparrowhawks, buzzards and merlins are relatively common, but you may also see hen harriers.
Other bird species include the wheatear, whinchat, red grouse and ring ouzel.
