Whilst enjoying the peaceful and tranquil grounds our guests are welcome to book fishing on our private stretch of the River Usk during the Fishing Season (Salmon and Sea Trout 3rd March to 17th October, Brown Trout 3rd March to 30th September). A Ghillie or instructor is available for tuition. Hampers can be arranged for delivery to the river bank. The River Usk is just a few minutes’ walk away from all our self catering accommodation.

Guests are welcome to explore the park and wander the tracks, footpaths and roadways.

The Gardens and Oak Collection are open on set days of the year. The Oak Collection which was the brainchild of the late Bill Legge-Bourke, whose passion for Oaks over 40 years meant that he started to collect acorns from around the world and planted them out throughout Penmyarth Park. His untimely death left over 100 growing acorns in the Oak Green House, and his son Harry was bitten by the ‘quercus’ bug not only planting out the 100 different oaks left by his father, but also increasing the collection to just over 300 different species and cultivars. Visiting members of the Royal family as far back as 1800s have planted Royal Oaks the latest being HM The Queen in July 2012 and HRH The Prince of Wales in July 2019. The Oaks and Gardens are open by appointment as well as the Estate Fayre and NGS Open Garden held annually in May.

Hampers of locally sourced and produced food can be ordered prior to arrival and guests may wish to book a table at the estate pub The Nantyffin Cidermill.

The estate is nestled between the River Usk and Monmouth & Brecon Canal making it ideal for waterside walks.

Two members of our team are Brecon Beacons National Park Ambassadors and can share suggestions of what to do in the local area. We can also point you in the direction of great cycling and walking routes, all easily accessible from the Estate.
