Henry Vaughan’s poetry, inspired by the Brecon Beacons, depicts the value of this area’s nature in the lives of those who visit…

…so come visit the “fair, shining mountains…
And flow’ry vales, whose flow’rs were stars…”

Pwll-yr-Wrach Reserve is famous for its beautiful bluebells; bluebell walks in the Brecon Beacons were, no doubt, part of Vaughan’s inspiration. This stunning, serene reserve is only a 30 minute drive from Coed Owen Bunkhouse, and better still we have our own bluebell woods right here! So come visit us next spring to feast your eyes upon our own purple stars…
