Sightseeing
Crickhowell
Small town with independent high street and lovely shops.
Everything’s great about this place, from its great tower, which evokes memories of earlier fortresses like Caernarfon, to the great gatehouse, which ‘wows’ the visitor just as its owner intended. If, as they say, an Englishman’s home is his castle, then William Herbert’s Raglan is the Welshman’s equivalent. Website: http://cadw.gov.wales/daysout/raglancastle/?lang=en
