LOCAL INTERESTS / ATTRACTIONS
A super area for walking with several pubs to chose from for a lunch stop. Riding and pony trekking can be organized from the farm - the horses use the bridlepaths and old parish roads which surround Llanthony Priory. Fishing on the Usk, canoeing on the Wye, or boating on the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal can be arranged. A drive through the Gospel Pass will bring you to the world renowned bookshops of Hay-on-Wye. And if you fancy something more riotous, quad biking and paint balling activities can be found in the area.
