We had a quiet day today and didn&#8217;t try to do too much as I think we were all quite tired after yesterday. I got up a bit later (9am) and we went to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breconbeacons.org\/discover\/easier-access\/attractions\/craig-y-nos-country-park\">Craig y Nos country park<\/a> which is just a ten minute drive away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park isn&#8217;t that big, and the paths through the park are all very easy walking, but it was wild enough to make it feel like you were exploring. We did a lot of wild life spotting, making use of some nets that Mum had brought for B and F to do some pond dipping, and F using Dad&#8217;s old binoculars to bird spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
