The Region

The pretty market Ross-on-Wye lies just 4 miles away, Monmouth 8 miles and the other picturesque towns and villages as well as the glorious countryside. This unique area offers endless opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking, canoeing and fishing on the River Wye, England’s most unspoilt major river. Enjoy cycling in the Forest of Dean, visiting Symonds Yat and a bit further afield the Malvern Hills, Welsh Border Castles, The Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons, Cotswolds and the cathedral cities of Hereford, Gloucester and Worcester. The book town of Hay-on-Wye is but a 40 minute drive.
