🌌 Did you know that the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park is an International Dark Sky Reserve and has some of the highest quality dark skies in the UK? It’s the ideal place to see major constellations, bright nebulas, the Milky Way, and even meteor showers. ✨

Three Peaks Challenge

Abergavenny Three Peaks - Saturday 29th March

The Three Peaks Trial is an organised challenge walk arranged each year in March by the Cardiff Outdoor Group.

The Walk was first held in March 1963 and was designed for less experienced walkers who wanted to test their powers of endurance and skill at map reading. It is now the oldest challenge walk in the UK.

Over the years the event has been modified so in 2025 there is a choice of four other routes.

We love our Hedgehogs’s and have a resident Hedgehog in our wildlife garden which we hope makes an appearance when you come and stay with us in one of our Holiday Homes.

So please watch out for them and be careful when clearing your gardens. Especially with those robot lawnmowers
