Coed Cefn Woodland Walk

Highlight • Trail

Coed Cefn is an ancient woodland with a rich historical past: there is an iron age hillfort in the centre and a few non-native conifers remain hinting at the woodland's past extensive planting. Visit for a circular woodland walk with beautiful views out to the surrounding countryside and for fantastic displays of bluebells in April and May.

Crickhowell Castle ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Crickhowell Castle, also known as Alisby's castle, dominates the views from the delightful market town. The now Grade I-listed ruin began life as a motte and bailey castle in the 12th century and was rebuilt in stone in 1272. If you are in town to climb Table Mountain or hit the Sugar Loaf circuit, it's worth a visit.
