The Vale of Ewyas or as it is more commonly known as Llanthony Valley is a picturesque and secluded valley in the Black Mountains of South East Wales and within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, where time stands still for any lucky visitor. The valley is famous for the stunning ruins of the 12th Century Llanthony Priory and old churches in small villages like Cwmyoy and Capel-y-ffin.

The area is popular with walkers, cyclists and hang gliders as countryside walks and the Offa’s Dyke footpath is on your doorstep. St Martin’s church in Cwmyoy is located a short walk from the property and attracts visitors due to its crooked medieval tower. The villages of Pandy and Llanvihangel Crucorney are three miles distant and boast a primary school, shop and garage/petrol station, as well as several pubs, including The Skirrid Inn, which is reputed to be Wales’ oldest inn.

The historic market town of Abergavenny is located eight miles away and has a range of independent shops, supermarkets, a theatre, cinema, general hospital, primary and secondary schools and a mainline train station.
