Modern Land Use
The waters of the southerly-flowing Afon Dringarth have been impounded between Fan Fawr and Fan Llia as Ystradfellte Reservoir. The headwaters of the northerly-flowing Afon Crai are stored in Cray Reservoir immediately west of the A4067 Ystradgynlais to Sennybridge road.
There are numerous conifer plantations on both the northern and southern slopes of Fforest Fawr.
Fan Frynych and Craig Cerrig-gleisiad are protected as a national nature reserve which is owned and managed by the Countryside Council for Wales for its arctic-alpine flora.
Almost the entire area is open access for walkers. A major long-distance path, the Beacons Way, runs east-west through Fforest Fawr.
