This is a captivating loop that offers stunning views to ascend Waun Fach and traverse the aptly named Dragon's Back, a winding ridge resembling the mythical creature, in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons). The trail is moderate, going through farmlands, traversing paths and roads before encountering a steeper climb into the hills. At the top, hikers will be rewarded with panoramic vistas from the summits of Pen Trumau, Waun Fach, and Pen y Manllwyn.
