Waun Fach Retreat

Is hiking your kryptonite? Well, what a handy spot this is, and not just for Waun Fach, which is within walking distance of the shepherd’s hut. The Sugar Loaf (35 minutes’ drive) is another fine option for hikers with its slopes and 18th-century landscaped park. Clydach Gorge (35 minutes) is less challenging in terms of slopes, but a whole day can be spent hiking at this gorgeous place. There are caves, waterfalls and old railways, a real good combo really. Perhaps you’re here to party at the Green Man Festival (25 minutes) site. Or perhaps you’re a foodie who has their sights set on attending the Abergavenny Food Festival in Abergavenny (half an hour). At other times of the year, delicious dishes are easy to track down in the town’s eateries and watersports like canoeing or canal boat rides will get you out over the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal.
