Plans for parking charges at Pen y Fan, Brecon Beacons
- Published
Walkers climbing the highest peak in the Brecon Beacons could have to pay to park under plans by the National Trust.
The trust wants to expand the car park and introduce charges at Pont ar Daf, near the Storey Arms, a popular spot to access Pen y Fan.
Last year, 115 drivers who parked on the A470 to visit the National Park during snow were fined.
The trust said improving the car park would create a safe and attractive "gateway" for thousands of visitors.
Proposals to introduce parking charges for hikers climbing Pen y Fan were first raised in 2011 by the trust, which owns and manages the central Beacons.
A on the plans to improve and extend the parking facilities will go out to consultation.
