It has good links to both the town of Hay-on-Wye, which has a literary festival in May, and also Llanelwedd, famous for the Royal Welsh Agricultural show in July.

This well-placed property is perfect for exploring all that mid-Wales has to offer being set on the England/Wales border, with the beautiful Offa’s Dyke walking trail which is 177 miles long situated close by. Just 22 miles away is the Elan Valley, a chain of dams and reservoirs set against a backdrop one of the country’s most picturesque beauty spots. Built over 100 years ago, it still supplies clean water to Birmingham.
Penshenkin Barn is just 8 miles from the popular town of Kington, which has a great mixture of cafés, restaurants and local shops for guests to enjoy. There is also a golf course which is one of the highest in England and Wales, with views over the Brecon Beacons. In nearby Presteigne, The Judge’s Lodging Museum provides an interesting day out where guests can take a tour. After a busy day exploring all that this area has to offer, there is space to sit and enjoy the views either from the private hot tub or from the garden seating.
