This converted Grade II listed 18th Century stone threshing barn is situated 4 miles from the historic border town of Monmouth, in the picturesque Monnow Valley. Monmouth, the birthplace of Henry V, is in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty known as the Wye Valley. Close by is the beautiful Royal Forest of Dean. The Cathedral City of Hereford, on the River Wye, is about 16 miles to the North and Ross-on-Wye, the birthplace of English Tourism, is some 10 miles distance. The Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park are within easy reach for the enthusiastic walker, with Brecon and its Cathedral close by, less than an hours’ drive away. Malvern and the Malvern Hills, is well worth visiting with great walks and a Priory. It is one hour away (38 miles) to the North East. The Glamorgan Heritage Coast, Cardiff Bay, Swansea and the Gower Peninsular are also within easy reach for glorious days out.
There is some beautiful local countryside surrounding this barn with lots of footpaths and many walks. One in particular, of about 4 miles, along the River Monnow, on the English bank, to Skenfrith with it’s castle, should not be missed.
