Ty Gwyn Holidays

If you can bear to leave Ty Gwyn Holidays, how about trying something new? Groom a llama and take it for a stroll at Golden Valley Llamas (five minutes’ drive), or roll up your sleeves and get stuck into making your own engagement rings at Oldfield Forge Experience Days (15 minutes). Or how about learning to blend botanicals at Hill Billy Gin School (20 minutes)? If you’re keen to be out in the open air, you have lots of options for hiking and cycling routes, or to try something more adventurous, join in with axe-throwing and archery at The Viking Games (20 minutes). If the sun shines on you, consider fishing, wild swimming or canoeing on the River Wye – you can hire boats from Glasbury (40 minutes) or Symonds Yat (half an hour). The black-and-white, half-timbered market towns of the Welsh-English borders include Ross-on Wye (half an hour), Leominster (40 minutes) and Ledbury (45 minutes). Historic Hereford (25 minutes) is home to the medieval Mappa Mundi in its Gothic-era cathedral, as well as lively food and craft markets.
