Things to do

There are so many ways in which you could spend your time during your stay at Sunflower Barn. The surrounding countryside is a paradise for walkers who will find the journey on foot from the barn to Offa's Dyke and the Wye Valley River Walk an easy one. There are also many beautiful woodland walks in the immediate area. Both the Real Ale pub, The Boat, on the banks of the River Wye and The Bush at Penallt provide good food and drink within walking distance. Wind-up torches are available for those wanting to visit the local pubs on foot but who prefer to tread lightly on the environment! The well known restaurant, The Crown, is in the neighbouring village of Whitebrook.
