EXPLORE THE AREA
We are situated in the glorious Monmouthshire countryside an area steeped in history and surrounded by stunning scenery in all directions. Despite being in rural surroundings, we are very conveniently placed for visiting all of South Wales and Borders areas, with easy access to major road networks.
The small, historic, picturesque town of Usk is less than 2 miles away. Known as "The Town of Flowers" Usk is a regular winner of the annual Wales in Bloom competitions and during the summer months its streets are filled with many beautiful floral displays.
We have an excellent country pub, The Hall Inn serving food and drink, just 200 metres across the road from the farm and there are many other excellent pubs and restaurants within a close drive in Usk and Raglan. Also very close by: Miranda Shaw Yoga offers yoga sessions in Gwehelog village hall (just beyond the pub) on Monday evenings and several other sessions locally throughout the week. Wyldwood Willow offers regular and very popular, willow weaving workshops just down the road.
