Situated only a mile from Tyn-y-bryn is the market town of Abergavenny.  Known as the Gateway to Wales, this historic market town features, among other attractions, fatstock and produce markets on Tuesdays and Fridays, a medieval castle, St Mary's priory church which houses the famous Jesse tree and an outstanding collection of tombs - it is known as the Westminster Abbey of Wales - and several attractive parks and gardens.

The surrounding countryside offers a wide range of activities - walking, canoeing, canal boating and sailing, caving, pony trekking, hang-gliding, gliding and several golf courses (including a public course and driving range just over a mile from Tyn-y-bryn), as well as the famous Celtic Manor resort where the 2010 Ryder Cup will be played.

Places of interest in the area include Llanthony and Tintern Abbeys, the World Heritage Site in Blaenavon which includes the Big Pit Mining Museum (offering underground tours by ex-miners) and the Ironworks, Offa's Dyke and numerous castles and museums.

Nearby Hay-0n-Wye lays claim to the largest second hand bookshop in the world and has a world famous Festival of Literature each year in May.  Our farm is actually situated within the Brecon Beacons National Park, which is an area of outstanding natural beauty with waterfalls, lakes and rivers plus many wonderful hills to climb.

There are many excellent pubs and restaurants within easy reach, ranging from nationally renowned eateries such as The Fox Hunter, The Bell at Skenfrith and The Bear at Crickhowell to good value traditional pubs, including our local pub The Crown Inn which is just one mile away.

Easy access to the M4, M50 and M5 motorways, together with convenient rail links and the outstanding beauty of the Black Mountains make this an ideal holiday location.

Long breaks, short breaks or just an overnight stop - you can be sure of a warm welcome and traditional hospitality at Tyn-y-bryn.  Join us at "The house on the hill" above Abergavenny, the Gateway to Wales.

Follow the main road into Abergavenny and around to the right - Great George Hotel is on your right and the Angel Hotel is on the left,  At the traffic lights (with Esso petrol station on the right) turn LEFT.  Keep on this road over two pedestrian crossings then take next turning on the  RIGHT.  This is called PEN-y-POUND and is opposite Tesco's supermarket.  It is sign-posted for the Leisure Centre.

After 150 yards there is a set of traffic lights - go straight over.

You will pass the school and leisure centre on your left and will keep on straight up the hill.  Next will come a turning on the right - Ignore this.

The road  now becomes a country road and you will pass an ELECTRICITY SUB-STATION on your right hand side.

Just opposite this sub station there is a small road which you must ignore BUT only a little way further up the hill is another turning LEFT.  This is the way to TYN-Y-BRYN.  Just follow the B&B signs up the lane, then left at the fork and then keeping to the right up our driveway.  I am sure you will agree the view is worth the slightly bumpy drive.
