Path from the car park to the pond at Pen-y-fan Pond The car parking area is large and this path makes directly for the lake, where most visitors are happy to make for. The country park seems popular with locals, dog walkers, joggers, horse-riders, fly-fishermen and walkers. No cyclists spotted today I'm afraid.
