A taste of Wales for Christmas

As we hunker down away from Covid-19 and the dark winter days,  how about giving (or buying for yourself) an excuse to visit Over the Bridge to Wales later in 2021. This area has a reputation for great food, as well as being home to brilliant artists so why not book onto a course to learn something new or purchase some local goodies online to enjoy - try Wye Valley Producers or Tiny Rebel Brewery.

Humble by Nature, set on a hillside above Monmouth, is a great base for discovering all sorts of smallholding and husbandry skills, rural skills and crafts as well as food and cookery; you can even stay. Travel down the Wye Valley and there are a couple of new ventures - Silver Circle Distillery where you can create your very own gin, and Wye Valley Meadery where beekeeping and mead making are open for everybody. 

If you love gardening then book onto one of Nant y Bedd Garden's courses - how to make perfect compost, homemade charcoal and wild gardening are a speciality. You can also book a short break at one of our great hotels, or a voucher for a luxury tea, or even join Cadw or the National Trust to ensure your days out in the summer 2021 are already sorted.
