Location
The Brecon Beacons
Llangattock and Crickhowell lie in the Usk valley between the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons.
Llangattock is a pretty village, with narrow alleyways, a 11th century church, village pub and hotel with 9 hole golf course. The village was recently voted the 'UK's greenest village'.
Across the river is the charming Georgian market town of Crickhowell, renowned for its high-quality shops, galleries, pubs, restaurants and cafés. The town is known as a jewel in the crown of the Brecon Beacons National Park and a hub for many outdoor activities.
