==Geography== [[File:Brecon Beacons National Park UK relief location map.png|thumb|Relief map of the [[Brecon Beacons National Park]] (bordered), with the Brecon Beacons located in the central area of the national park.]] The Brecon Beacons comprises six main peaks, which from west to east are: Corn Du, {{convert|873|m}}; Pen y Fan, the highest peak, {{convert|886|m}}; [[Cribyn (mountain)|Cribyn]], {{convert|795|m}}; [[Fan y Bรฎg]], {{convert|719|m}}; [[Bwlch y Ddwyallt]], {{convert|754|m}}; and [[Waun Rydd]], {{convert|769|m}}. These summits form a long [[ridge]], and the sections joining the first four form a horseshoe shape around the head of the [[River Taff#Taf Fechan|Taf Fechan]], which flows away to the southeast. To the northeast of the ridge, interspersed with long parallel spurs, are four [[cirque]]s (Welsh: ''cymoedd'', sing. ''cwm'') or round-headed valleys; from west to east these are Cwm Sere, Cwm Cynwyn, Cwm Oergwm and Cwm Cwareli. The Brecon Beacons range, Fforest Fawr, and Black Mountain form a continuous massif of high ground above 300 metres (1000 feet). The [[A470]] road forms an approximate boundary between the central Beacons and Fforest Fawr.
