 Four Days Exploring the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Do you still have some holiday to take and unsure about where to go?

Discover Part of Britain you may never have been to.

This is our best value offer ever, beat the low euro exchange rate and holiday at home this year.

Plenty of extras and a very flexible 4 night package, valid over weekends as well.

Cheap flights to Europe aren't so cheap anymore when you add fuel surcharges, taxes and even fees to check your luggage in! Then when you get to Europe your pound won't buy anything like what it bought last year.  Having a holiday in the UK makes a lot of sense this year, easy travel and there are plenty of good deals to be had. And here is one of them.

Gliffaes Hotel makes the ideal base for you to explore this magic part of the Brecon Beacons National Park, South Wales. It's all here rivers, mountains, moor land, skylarks, heather,  castles and the quietest roads in England & Wales.

So much to see and do?

Wales? What on earth am I going to do for four days? Here are just a few ideas on how to fill a few days around the Brecon Beacons National Park.

●   Take your packed lunch and your map ( included in the package) and set off on foot on a good circular walk in the Black Mountains. Fresh air, good views and very few people.

●  Drive through the Llanthony Valley, visit the ancient Priory and carry on to Hay Bluff for a windy walk with stunning views. Then lunch in Hay-on-Wye before browsing in all the second book shops and antique shops.  A visit to the Great English Outdoors is must.

●   Spend a day on the river Usk below the hotel fishing for wild brown trout, or just lie under a tree with a book.

●   See the National Botanic Gardens of Wales. Then lunch in Aberglasney's lovely walled garden.

●   Drive, cycle or walk the Three Castles Tour in Monmouth with a good lunch at The Bell in Skenfrith. About 18 miles.

●   A round of golf at Cradoc golf course - the golf course with stunning views over the Brecon Beacons.

●   Hire a canoe at Glasbury and paddle the river Wye.

●   Climb Pen-y-Fan the highest peak in South Wales.

●   Visit one of the oldest and remotest churches in Wales at Partrishow.

●   There are more mountain bike trails here than you could ride in a month.


●   Check out the Big Pit coal mine museum and then on the Blaenavon Industrial World Heritage site.

●   Spend an afternoon at the bird hide on Llangors Lake.

●   Explore the Brecon & Monmouthshire Canal by foot, bike or even electric boat.

●   Borrow our tandem and cycle around Talybont Reservoir and a have well earned lunch in the pub.


●   Watch the Red Kites feeding at Rhyder.

●   Have a croquet match in the sun and the looser buys the Pimms.

●   You may just want to sit on our sunny terrace with a bottle of wine and read the paper!

If you still want more ideas just ask..........
