Blanket Ban Lifted In Powys
Areas of the Beacons and Black Mountains opened up at the
weekend, though some restrictions remain in place plus there's a new

Substantial parts of Powys, including upland areas in the Brecon
Beacons and Black Mountain areas, were re-opened over the
weekend.
To coincide with the re-opening, Powys County Council has 'a new
interactive mapping site' accessible from these
pages . In common with other areas previously subject to a
blanket ban, there are still restrictions within 3km of existing
outbreaks of foot and mouth and on farmland of former infected
premises.
There are still substantial closures - denote by red areas on the
maps - but it's a step forward. There's also a list of local tourist
information office contact numbers if you want to check the situation
in a particular local area with people on the ground.
For more access links and information, see our regular
foot and mouth update.
