This beautiful unspoiled part of Herefordshire is a good base to stay while visiting the Welsh Marches. You may wish to visit some of the many small market towns Hay-on-Wye, Brecon, Builth Wells, Abergavenny, and Monmouth in Wales or the English towns of Kington, Ludlow, Ross-on-Wye and Leominster. The city of Hereford is 17 miles away with the Cathedral, the Chained Library and the Mappa Mundi. The Brecon Beacons, Black Mountains and Offas Dyle are close by. There is a wealth of churches and ruined castles as well as Dore Abbey, Arthurs Stone and charming Black and White villages. Plenty of outdoor activities to pursue cycling, horse riding, canoeing or walking as well as numerous restaurants and village pubs.
