The Hardwick
Think the founder was a master chef winner, way back when…
This is undoubtedly my favourite restaurant in the wider area. Abergavenny is a 20-30 minute drive.

15 Cross StThis is undoubtedly my favourite restaurant in the wider area. Abergavenny is a 20-30 minute drive.
My other favourite restaurant… quite a trek, but can be tied in with a walk up the Brecon Beacons

The New Inn
I know one of the Chefs here and he’s very good!
The nearest pub… a proper cosy pub - old school! Now called The Halfway, Talycoed
Food is typical pub food. Nothing posh, just the basics.

Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo
This is one of those special little spots that only the ‘locals’ know about. Usually quiet, lovely and shades on a hot day for a paddle or a swim.
