Glanpant

Glanpant offers a tranquil retreat in the heart of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, providing an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking relaxation alike. The accommodation, known as ‘The Bach,’ is designed to cater to various interests, from hiking and cycling to leisurely walks and stargazing.

For hikers, celebrated peaks such as Pen-y-Fan, Corn Du, Fan y Big, The Blorenge, Skirrid Fawr, Hay Bluff, and Fan Frynach are all within approximately 20 miles or a 30-minute drive from the doorstep.

Guests can inquire about quieter routes to these summits for a more serene experience. Those preferring less strenuous activities can enjoy rewarding walks directly from the cottage or take a short drive to amble along the picturesque Monmouthshire-Brecon canal, locally known as the ‘Mon & Brec.’

Cyclists have convenient access to routes like the Cycle Across the Beacons and the Taff Trail.

Additionally, iconic hill climbs such as The Tumble, Llangynidr Mountain, Gospel Pass, Heol Senni (The Devil’s Elbow), and Rhiwr Road are within reach for those seeking a challenge.

After a day of exploration, guests can unwind on the cottage patio, observing local birdlife, including kites and ospreys, or marvel at the stars in the Bannu Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) International Dark Sky Reserve.

Cultural centres like Hay on Wye and Brecon, with its 11th-century Cathedral and museum, are nearby.

Visitors can also explore the Big Pit National Coal Museum or the culinary hub of Abergavenny. Local amenities include award-winning pubs, cafes, and farm shops, such as the Welsh Venison Centre farm shop located next door.
