The Area

Rhosgoch is a tiny hamlet surrounded by the Radnorshire Hills, Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons. There’s not a lot here except a local par 68 Golf Course and clubhouse  which backs on to the park (they serve an excellent Sunday Lunch), and Rhosgoch Bog, a sight of special Scientific Interest supporting rare and endangered wildlife and flora. Otherwise the great outdoors awaits in all its glory… fantastic countryside to explore by car, bike or on foot.

The well regarded Roast Ox Inn is the nearest pub in neighbouring Painscastle just less than a 2 miles away and certainly worth a visitThe nearest main town is Hay-on-Wye just 5 miles away where you can find cafe’s, restaurants and various shops, but in particular book shops.
