Full of character with lots of original features, located in Pandy, walks are to be had from the doorstep with your four legged friends. Located just 6 miles from the historic town of Abergavenny with its many coffee shops, bars and restaurants, there is plenty to see and do here for the day, not forgetting the yearly famous Abergavenny food festival which is a must! A visit to the castle and museum will keep you entertained, as you step inside the history of Abergavenny. Originally the site of a Roman fort, Gobannium, Abergavenny became a medieval walled town within the Welsh Marches, with its own Norman castle.
If walking or cycling is your thing, then Abergavenny is the gateway to the mountains, including the nearby Sugarloaf, The Blorenge, with the famous ’The Tumble’ cycle hill climb, and the five hills, Ysgyryd Fach, Deri, Rholben, Ysgyryd Fawr and Mynyd Llanwenarth. With easy access to the Brecon Beacons National Park and Black Mountains, Offa’s Dyke Path is close by and the Marches Way, the Beacons Way and Usk Valley are all accessible through Abergavenny town. In the other direction is the town of Monmouth, just 20 miles.
The town is steeped in history, and a visit to Monmouth Castle is a must, along with the Monnow Bridge and Gate. Spend the day at Monmouth Museum, or take a visit to the lost city of Trelleck, where they offer archaeological dig experiences. The area is also perfect for outdoor enthusiasts with a range of walking opportunities including National Trust Kymin offering spectacular views over the rolling hills of Monmouthshire, or go canoeing or kayaking on the river Wye. The Forest of Dean is a short drive from Monmouth with an abundance of things to do and see such as Clearwell Caves, Puzzlewood and Dean Forest Railway. There are also free tours of the Blaenavon World Heritage Site and the Big Pit National Coal Museum.
