Into the evening, look up to the night sky and find your favourite constellations or stars which look like bright diamonds.

For the more adventurous, the National Park is on the doorstep. Explore and discover the beauty of the land, the water-streams running from the mountain, the woodland, the Bronze Age burial mount and the Medieval Path. After exploring, revive yourself by drinking some of the property’s own spring water. There is an abundance of activities, from walking, cycling and pony trekking within the Brecon Beacons National Park, to lazy days paddling on the River Wye, fishing is also available on the nearby Monnow, with day permits available from the award-winning neighbouring village store.
