Sennybridge Training Area

Updated: July 15, 2026

The Sennybridge Training Area is an extensive military training area in the heart of Wales, in the county of Powys to the north of the Brecon Beacons. The area is managed by the British Army and serves as one of the most important training locations for infantry and navigation exercises in the United Kingdom. Units use the high, wet Welsh moorland to prepare for operations in rough and inhospitable terrain.

The landscape consists of rolling hill country, sweeping moorland and open grassland, where mist, rain and peaty ground constantly test navigation. It is precisely those demanding conditions that make Sennybridge popular for map, compass and fieldcraft training. Within a NATO context, MGRS is the standard for exchanging positions on this kind of terrain. On this page you'll find the MGRS zone, terrain features and an interactive map and 3D view.

On Sennybridge's misty, wet moorland, precise positioning is crucial. With MilMap you read every position directly in MGRS and share points unambiguously with your team, even without recognisable landmarks in the field. The flyover shows the relief of hills and valleys in advance, so you can plan routes and waypoints through this challenging terrain realistically.
