Valley Yurts

Fresh-air walks are easily had here – the 177-mile Offa’s Dyke Path is a kilometre from the site. Prefer to roam with company, or combine your outdoor time with a bit of sport? There’s pony trekking and golfing 20 minutes' drive away. If you’d rather take to the water, there are several places nearby to hire canoes and kayaks to paddle on the River Wye. Animal fans are catered for at Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre (20 minutes' drive), while those fond of the written word should head for Hay-on-Wye (25 minutes) – so famed for its second-hand bookstores (there are more than 20 of them) that it’s home to an annual literature festival. Wet your whistle at Dunkertons Cider Company (25 minutes) – if you’re thirsty for more, you’ll be pleased to hear that it’s part of the Herefordshire Cider Route, a circular driving route that takes in pitstops at several of the county's producers. Brecon Beacons National Park is about 40 minutes away – to get a glimpse of some spectacular scenery, take a packed lunch and make your way around the five-mile Four Falls Trail, which includes a waterfall you can walk behind for added wow factor.
