With a superb location just outside the unspoilt village of Pontsticill, the farm is the ideal base from which to explore the surrounding countryside of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The open farmland surrounding the farm’s main building adjoins the park, so you can enjoy the stunning natural beauty of this landscape from the minute you step out of the front door. The great access to the region’s major road network also makes the farm a convenient base for exploring Mid and South Wales.
