We sit at the gateway to the Brecon Beacons, with plenty of history, walking and exploring. And good fishing and golf, too. The links below take you to specialist sites with all the info. Happy surfing. But please add us to your ‘Favourites’ or ‘Bookmark’ list first, to make sure you can get back to our site after browsing the region’s attractions. For the PDF area information file go to downloads.

First, the weather! For Wales as a whole look at the BBC weather site. For Abergavenny locally, look at the Yahoo forecast. For the walking on the Brecons, you should first read the MET Office Mountain Weather Report.
