The popular walking hotspot of the Brecon Beacons is the fifth-most popular destination for people in Britain, coming behind only some of London's top sights.
According to the Guardian Observer Travel awards, the Welsh national park is only topped by:
* the British Museum,
* the Victoria and Albert Museum,
* the National Gallery and
* the Imperial War Museum.
This year is the first time finance has been set aside to promote the picturesque hills of the Beacons and the facilities it offers, with the investment appearing to pay off in terms of popularity.
Director of Brecon Beacons Tourism Richard Tyler and sustainable tourism manager for the national park's authority Punch Maughan said: "We are delighted that the Brecon Beacons National Park is developing a worldwide reputation as a choice holiday destination and tourist attraction."
