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.
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!
