Pen-y-dre Farm Holidays

An ideal holiday location especially for families or groups keen to visit The Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons, or walk the Offa`s Dyke Path. The village has The Skirrid Mountain Inn, which is the oldest pub in Wales and was used as Judge Jeffrey`s Court. The scenery is superb with The Skirrid Mountain behind and The Black Mountains just beyond the village. Ideally situated to explore the Wye Valley, Welsh Border Country, Forest of Dean, The Brecon Beacons National Park & South Wales. This was once the home farm of Llanvihangel Court, the mansion to the east. It still has a corn barn built in the 17th century. If you’ve just scanned the QR codes at the farm entrance, walk a little to the south along the road to see the barn. It’s the building with walls of stone (bottom) and timber (upper part). Much of the timber framework is original. Take a close look at the southern gable wall, the only wall entirely of stone. At the top there’s a hole for owls to enter. Owls eat mice, which eat corn!
