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

We were recommended this site by the Tourist Information shop in Crickhowell, and were dry pleased we were. Quite a difficult drive along narrow one track roads, but didn't give us any real problems. Very small chapel with sufficient parking outside, we didn't know what to expect when we went inside. It really is a delight, very small, but lovely stained glass windows and a display of stuffed toys. Well worth the effort of getting there
5. White Castle

White Castle is the best preserved and most imposing of the trio of Monmouthshire fortresses known as the ‘Three Castles’ – which includes Grosmont and Skenfrith – built to control the border. Originally constructed from wood and earth, a series of renovations transformed it into the significant defensive structure we see today. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

Came on to White Castle, having visited Grosmont. This is a much more complete castle with a water filled moat surrounding it. The approach to the castle is up narrow lanes, with limited parking for about 15 cars at most. Good sign board explaining history. A lovely monument to visit with plenty of open space to picnic or run around and play games. The tower, with its views over surrounding countryside, is closed at the present time due to restrictions of social distancing. No toilets at the site and non paying. A recommended place for all the family. As an aside Rudolph Hess, famous nazi war criminal, was allowed to sketch at the castle!

Really superb memorials, and all visitors to Abergavenny should visit it. The Jesse Tree is one of the very few survivors of a once common feature and is a real gem of medieval wood carving. Anyone with even a moderate interest in art should visit it.

Probably a manorial site belonging to the bishops of Llandaff in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, later used as a hunting lodge. Only the moat now remains.
