Welcome to

Caravan Club Site

The river Honddu runs on the western boundary and the majestic Skirrid rises in full view of the site, which is level, green and scattered with mature trees.

Abergavenny has a fine castle. Walkers will be delighted to try out the Offa’s Dyke Path, which runs on the border between England and Wales and will give you a good feel for the splendid countryside. There are many other walks, guided or unguided (the Brecon Beacons National Park produces a useful list), and for those

who like a walk with a purpose in the evening, there are no fewer than seven pubs in the vicinity, with the nearest a mere 50 yards stroll away.

The area is littered with historical buildings which speak of the unsettled and sometimes battle-torn history of the borders. For one of many magnificent views head to Symonds Yat Rock with breathtaking views over the lazy River Wye.

Market Days Tuesday & Friday.
