Visit the Black Mountain Centre Tourist Information Point TODAY!

We have recently refurbished our tourist information point with funding support from Brecon Beacons National Park and Carmarthenshire County Council. We received grant funding in the amount of £10,000 from the Sustainable Development Fund and the Sustainable Community Tourism Fund. We have upgraded the reception area with bespoke units, touchscreen computers, signage and a series of wall mounted maps. We aim to provide the visitor with a wealth of information and advice, from leaflets, pocket guides, to posters, internet access, local knowledge and expertise.

The Black Mountain Centre hosted the Valleys Regional Park Community Tourism Ambassador Training in April.

Community Tourism Ambassadors are important to the development of The Valleys as a tourism destination. The Ambassador will represent The Valleys and influence the visitor to stay and spend within our community. This training will enable the Ambassadors to become a beacon of knowledge within the community and they will be able to provide helpful, accurate and friendly advice.
