My family and I spent the morning with Clive and Rob at the clay shoot. It was excellent fun and I even managed to hit a few which is testament to Clive's teaching as I have a rubbish aim! Great place to go if you want to do something as a group. Also, where you shoot from is semi covered so it doesn't matter if the weather is a bit rubbish! They have great facilities for having refreshments too and we were looked after really well. Thank you so much Clive and Rob and we will see you again soon!

White Castle Vineyard is owned by Robb & Nicola Merchant, it is situated in the beautiful rolling countryside of Monmouthshire in the village of Llanvetherine close to the towns of Abergavenny and Monmouth. The 5 acre vineyard is planted on a gentle south facing slope that is ideal for growing vines and ripening grapes for Welsh wine. White Castle Vineyard is Wales premier vineyard and is dedicated to producing a variety of quality welsh wines using first class viticultural practices. Visitors are warmly invited to visit White castle Vineyard to experience the beauty and tranquillity of our rural setting. We have our Award Winning Quality Welsh Wine available for purchase from the Cellar Door
Fabulous couple of hours spent learning not only about the wine, but the personal story and passion behind the business. Probably the warmest, most genuine, personal ‘guided tour’ we have been on, delivered by Rob who is not only incredibly knowledgable but fun, friendly, full of anecdotes and stories and happy to share his knowledge. We spent time wandering through the vines tasting the different types of grape (we were lucky to visit just before harvesting time), followed by a relaxed and informative wine tasting - 4 types of wine to test with Rob guiding us through each one. They were all fantastic. There is absolutely no pushy selling at all, but of course you fall a little bit in love with the place and wanting to take a little bit of the magic away with us, we came away with a box of wine which we will enjoy along with the memories. Highly recommended way to pass a couple of hours

Had a great day with work colleagues,Saturday 22 August. A bit of Practice around the Targets then a break with some interesting facts on the History of Archery and Weapons of the past. Then a walk around the woods hitting various targets Lee had set up. Along with Lee’s teaching and experience was his fun style way of putting it together. I can highly recommend it.

Popped into Marches today on a trip across to Monmouth looking for some local cheese. Delighted to discover a cafe at the rear where we were able to have some lunch before making our purchases. I had a lovely cheese board, with three different cheeses and my husband had a large bowl of delicious soup served with bread, cheese and chutney. We were then helped to make our selection of cheeses by a really helpful and knowledgeable guy who we assumed was the proprietor, and came away with some great cheese. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area and we will be back!

We discovered this lovely little church and its history when walking in the area and staying at Celyn Farm. It was surprising to us that such a gem of art history is tucked away at the back of beyond - when driving there you really don't want to meet any oncoming vehicle...well worth a visit, especially if you have been exploring the lonely surrounding fells anwyay

STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. We offer private, tailor made experiences with our friendly, cute animals! You'll meet our alpacas, sheep, and miniature donkeys, all in the stunning Monmouthshire countryside. Please go to our website to see the different experiences we offer, or alternatively, send us an email.
From the minute we arrived at Cute Farm the sun was shining and the hospitality was incredible. Lisa, Miles, George & Amanda we’re by our sides throughout the day happily sharing the wealth of knowledge they have of all their animals, their passion is truly infectious!! Our boys 4 & 7 adored the Valais and loved their alpaca trekking experience, but it was the miniature donkey’s that stole the show for us, we are all now officially obsessed. In the words of a 7yr old it was a day in which his “best dreams came true”. Thank you all once again for such a warm welcome, we’ll definitely be back ????

The Home of Welsh Castle Life: Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Castle’s exciting past. Caldicot Castle’s impressive structure is surrounded by an idyllic 55 acre Country Park. You will be able to travel through time and discover the home of Welsh castle life, from medieval times to the twentieth century. The castle was developed as a fortress by Royal hands in the Middle Ages and restored as a Victorian family home. The river Nedern winds its way through the park and the wildlife pond is home to a variety of wildfowl.
Despite the pouring rain, we had a pleasant walk around Caldicot Castle. Free to get in. None of the inside stuff was open due to COVID 19 so we couldn’t go up the tower but perhaps on another visit. The kiosk was open for hot/cold drinks and snacks, with payment by card only. There were picnic tables available. Bought the guide which is very interesting (£2.60). Would pop in again if combining with a visit to somewhere else as well. Lots of space for children to run around in.

The appeal of this exceptional Cistercian abbey remains as enduring as ever An area of outstanding beauty complemented by this outstanding beauty in stone. If only the walls could talk! The chants of countless monks echo through the masonry here. Despite the shell of this grand structure being open to the skies, it remains the best-preserved medieval abbey in Wales. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.
Such a beautiful building with an amazing view of the countryside. Well worth a visit great pub close by so you can enjoy a drink whilst admiring the view of the Abbey.

Beautifully preserved Chepstow Castle stretches out along a limestone cliff above the River Wye like a history lesson in stone. There’s no better place in Britain to see how castles gradually evolved to cope with ever more destructive weaponry – and the grandiose ambitions of their owners. For more than six centuries Chepstow was home to some of the wealthiest and most powerful men of the medieval and Tudor ages. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.
The oldest castle in Wales is well worth a visit excellent shop for purchasing gifts .The views from the castle onto the river Wye are beautiful and captured this historic landmarks in Chepstow .
