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.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or land:
“Women have acquired equal place to man in society, but the double standard has really never been relinquished; certainly not by men. Modern man’s fear of passivity or of the active woman proves to be as eternal as modern woman’s struggle to come to terms with her femininity.”
—Peter Blos (20th century)
“It is cruel for you to leave your daughter, so full of hope and resolve, to suffer the humiliations of disfranchisement she already feels so keenly, and which she will find more and more galling as she grows into the stronger and grander woman she is sure to be. If it were your son who for any cause was denied his right to have his opinion counted, you would compass sea and land to lift the ban from him.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
