Located on banks of the River Usk in the east of the Brecon Beacons National Park, Crickhowell is a picturesque Georgian market town, known as the jewel of the vale.

Crickhowell is a hotspot for those interested in the arts, good food, outdoor activities, and history.  With the Black Mountains to the east and the Brecon Beacons to the west, and pretty surrounding villages such as Llangattock, Llanbedr, Llangenny and Llangynidr, it’s also an excellent central point for outdoor enthusiasts.

Inhabited since prehistoric times, there are plenty of historical sites to explore, restaurants to discover and some of the best fishing and caving available anywhere in Wales.

Crickhowell is also home to fantastic events such as the Green Man Festival, which is held in August each year.
