Any of you guys familiar with this area as we have narrowed our search down to 2 lovely holiday cottages, which is the nicest area Ystradfellte or Abergavenny ??? we dont like it busy and need good dog walking areas so any help would be nice as this area is totally new to us.

:confused: :confused:

abergavenny nice market town with good walking nearby - the skirrid, sugar loaf, pen-y-fan & corn ddu, the blorenge but not as quiet as ystradfellte which has excellent walks around waterfalls, open moorland, lots of caves and is very quiet. the waterfalls (about 8 really nice ones) are fantastic for walking the dog although beware occasional steep drops.

both nice but would go for ystradfellte if you want quiet. gower for beach walks would be within striking distance also...rhosilli / worms head always a favourite

seeing your avatar it may be worth commenting on the caves a little more. one of the caves near ystradfellte is the (in)famous porth-y-ogof...over a dozen deaths in the last 40 odd years. also really good show caves nearby at dan-yr-ogof.

also several walk in silica mines in same area (dinas)

afraid not paul. from my (very limited) understanding, which might be inaccurate, is that caving and access in the area can be quite political.

this might be helpful

Ystradfellte, lovely place though not much happening for kids.

Always remember, nature is in charge, get it wrong and it is you who suffers!.

In Abergavenny if you walk up past the market you should fins a cafe with a take away roast meat area on the front which is fantastic.
WARNING Those on a diet read no further! :devil:

Their "chips" consist of large potato chunks cooked in dripping untill gastronomic!
When covered in a portion of roast beef and gravy
Food for the gods! :wub:
