There are the Black Mountains (in the east of the park, on the border with England) and the Black Mountain (in the west), just to be confusing. The area to the west of the Brecon Beacons range is known as the Fforest Fawr (Great Forest), in 2005 The Brecon Beacons National Park became part of a prestigious worldwide network of Geoparks and received recognition by UNESCO to become the first Geopark in Wales and the first National Park in the whole of the UK to be designated.
