The ancient market town of Talgarth is an ideal base for visitors wishing to explore the Brecon Beacons National Park on foot, particularly as it forms the "Gateway to the Black Mountains". There are wonderful walking opportunities on the doorstep and an annual walking festival in the town in May. Visit the local businesses around the pretty stone streets, where you can find great local produce, watch the gentle river as it flows under the Medieval Tower Bridge or, at Christmas gaze at the dazzling lights. The town offers a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Thanks to the BBC’s Village SOS programme, Talgarth now has a fully restored working water mill with a very popular café. There are cosy pubs with log fires, real ales and home cooked food.

Discover Parc Wood or Pwll-yr-Wrach waterfalls and nature reserve, look at the views from the top of Bronllys Castle, or simply admire the spectacular views from the common land overlooking the town. Close to Brecon, Crickhowell and Hay-on-Wye, Talgarth is an ideal base for visitors wishing to explore the Brecon Beacons National Park on foot, whether it’s the high peaks or the lush green valleys of the Wye and the Usk which capture the imagination. Talgarth and the surrounding countryside is a haven for artists and photographers. For a fascinating insight into the life and times of workers during the early years of the Industrial Revolution, why not visit Blaenavon Ironworks? Home to one of the best-preserved 18th century ironworks in Europe. Take a trip on a vintage steam locomotive across the narrow-gauge heritage railway that runs beside Pontsticill and Pentwyn Reservoirs.

Fresh air, wide open spaces, a creative atmosphere and plenty to entertain you, whatever the weather. There’s much to enjoy after dark too, from superb annual festivals, full of authentic Welsh flavour, to the famously clear, starry skies.

    This beautifully decorated, spotless home was absolutely perfect for our family of eight. The beds were incredibly comfy, every bedroom offered beautiful views, and the entire place was so peaceful. We loved the gorgeous garden, and having the utility room and downstairs loo was incredibly convenient for a large group. Highly recommended!
