Our 'Sunset on Pen y Fan' Walk offers a 6km hike with 460m of ascent on well-maintained paths, leading to the summit of Pen y Fan—the highest peak in South Wales and all of southern Britain. This iconic Welsh mountain rewards walkers with expansive views that, on a clear day, stretch south to Devon and Somerset and north to the rugged outline of Cadair Idris. As you walk, you'll be surrounded by the stunning beauty of the Brecon Beacons National Park, with the rich colours of early evening casting dramatic shadows across the landscape.
Guided safely by an experienced leader, you'll arrive at the summit just in time to (hopefully) witness a breathtaking sunset over the Black Mountain range to the west and the Black Mountains to the east. While nature doesn’t always promise a perfect sunset, the journey itself is always worth it. Whether the skies blaze with colour or remain quietly overcast, the experience offers a peaceful, rewarding time in great company and unforgettable views from the top of the world—at least, the top of South Wales.

Much more than a walking group, Mountain Medicine feels like a family. Each walk is thoughtfully organised, exploring beautiful routes across South Wales and beyond. The leaders are welcoming, knowledgeable, and bring people together in the best way possible. Always an inspiring day out filled with laughter, fresh air, and incredible scenery.
I have walked with Mountain Medecine quite a few times now and have nothing but praise for Phill and Janine. It is always an absolute pleasure to set out on the hills with you. The encouragement, leadership and instruction offered is second to none. Both myself and my young son have thoroughly enjoyed every single step we have shared with Mountain Medecine and always look forward to our next adventure along side you. I simply cannot recommend this group enough to anyone wishing to improve their hiking skills and knowledge in a such kind, informative and relaxed group. A thoroughly deserved five star review from both of us. Keep up the great work.
It’s rare I leave a review but after spending a weekend on a navigation course with Phil i have to say it was a pleasure to spend time with someone who is so passionate about their craft. Phil’s course was well organised and wonderfully presented in a clear and concise way. Nothing was too much trouble.His wife Janine even met us with celebratory cakes at the end of day 2! I’ll be booking again soon.
A magnificent recent trip to the highest point of North Africa, Mount Toubkal. An expedition incredibly well organised by Mountain Medicine, with each minor detail given the upmost respect. From wonderful views, culture and memories that will last a lifetime, this trip had it all. I am truly grateful for the opportunites mountain medicine have given me.
What an amazing group Mountain Medicine is. Really helped me through hard times with mental issues. Was a bit scared at 1st as I thought I would hold people back but Phill and Janine always walk to the last person and always make you feel welcome. My fitness and confidence In myself is now sky high. Always arrange good walks, and very informative and everyone has a good laugh. Always a vast selections of different sweets going around the group as well. And the post walk beverages are even better. 🤣🤣. So if you want to join a walking group then this is the one for you. Highly recommended and if I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you Phill and Janine for such a fab job you do
