The Black Mountains are known for their outstanding beauty - with open hill, streams and ancient woodland for you to enjoy.  You can walk straight from our front door onto the hill and climb the Gaer - the site of an iron age and roman fort.
View of Cwmyoy
We are in the Brecon Beacons National Park with many places of interest to visit - Abergavenny, Cardiff which is an hour's drive away  Many ancient churchs are near including the leaning Cwmyoy or drive to Hay on Wye - the 'bookshop' town..
Visit Big Pit - and experience going down a coal mine.
Other attractions include the caves and dinosaur park, the Black and White trail of Herefordshire, the many castles including Raglan and White Castle nearby.


See the buzzards
Right in our valley you can walk for miles or pony trek from the ancient Priory at Llanthony.  We have owls, buzzards, redstarts and many other species of birds on our farm.  Even swallows nest in our porch outside the dining room.
Llanthony priory
There are many pubs and restaurants near us.  Call at The Queens Head Inn where you can meet the locals for a drink or sample the food at the many excellent pubs and restaurants near us.

Sally and John are able to advise guests of choices to go.  We frequently check them out - an essential part of our job !

 

  

 

Directions

 

                     

                 Snow 2007 CLOSED
From Abergavenny take the A465 Hereford road for approx four miles until you come to the large road sign on the left saying Llanvihangel Crucorney, Skirrid, Llanthony.

Turn left here and after a quarter of a mile turn left again by the Skirrid Inn. This is reputedly the oldest pub in Wales.

Turn left here and keep on the Llanthony road for a mile and a half until you see the Queen's Head Inn on your right. Turn left here and keep going up the steep hill for exactly three quarters of a mile, passing one house Penrhw on the left.

You will then see a red glass triangle ahead with our farm gates set back on the left. It says Gaer Farm clearly on the gates. Turn in here - you have arrived.

 From Hay either come the longer way through Crickhowell and Abergavenny OR if you wish to use the road 'over the top' to Llanthony, please remember that it is very narrow and passing cars can be difficult.
