The charming community of Gilwern, which is surrounded by the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons National Park), provides visitors with a wide range of services, including quaint shops, pubs, and a fantastic fish and chip store. The Usk River offers outstanding salmon and trout fishing, and the National Park, which spans an area of around 520 square miles, is surrounded by beautiful landscape. The area surrounding Gilwern is also fantastic for walking, cycling, and bird viewing. Nestled between the “seven hills,” the ancient market town of Abergavenny, known as the “Gateway to Wales,” offers something for everyone with its numerous indoor and outdoor markets, spectacular castle, and museums. A few miles away, the lovely town of Crickhowell is a must-see for all visitors. The magnificent peak known as Sugarloaf offers wonderful walks for all abilities as well as its own winery. This location is wonderful at any time of the year because of the clean mountain air and stunning surroundings.
