The Powys / Brecon Beacons / Monmouthshire region
The Brecon Beacons National Park is a mountainous region of outstaning natural beaty, the cottage is in front of the Blorenge Mountain (popular for hang gliders) and looks directly on to the Sugar Loaf Mountain. The Brecon and Monmouthshire canal winds along the Usk valley within 300 metres of the cottage. Vineyard and wine tasting available on the Sugar Loaf. Only a couple of miles from the town of Abergavenny and near the villages of Govilon, Gilwern and Crickhowell.
Abergavenny area
Abergavenny is a busy but unruffled Market Town with lots of interesting shops, pubs and local eateries, famous for its food festival in September and 14 miles from the Cathedral town of Brecon with its annual jazz festival in August. It is quite possible for you to leave the car on arrival and not use it again until your departure since all the facilities are within easy walking distance for the majority of people. The undulating terrain offeres you splendid views of the surrounding hills and the accommodation looks out to agricultural land that is usually occupied by sheep. A short distance (5 miles) from Blaenavon, a World Heritage Site with its restored iron works and Big Pit, now a museum offering trips underground via original winding gear.Continuing the underground theme the cottage is surrounded by some of the best potholing in the UK from Llangatock to the Blorenge with over 130 miles of caves in the immediate area. The capital city, Cardiff is just 30 miles away with its fascinating castle, bay quarter, millenium stadium and modern shopping malls. There are numerous walks that can be started within 300 yards of the house. For example, as you approach along the drive you will cross over the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal now frequented by longboats and other leisure craft and providing a tree lined towpath to both left and right. In either direction you soon arrive at watering holes offering food and a warm welcome. Starting a little closer to the house and leading from the drive is a footpath accross the fields leading to the recently completed cycleway/footpath which follows the old tramway which to the right winds up the nearby Tilla Hill and to the left leading into Abergavenny. The 2010 Ryder Cup at the Celtic Manor Resort is less than 30 minutes from Govilon.
