There is nothing better than a walk through the lush landscapes of Wales, whether it be a strenuous hike up one of the many mountains the country has to offer or a sandy stroll across some of its stunning coastal paths. And it's even better if there's an opportunity for a nice refreshing drink en route where you can soak it all up.
That is something The Clytha Arms has to offer. The award-winning pub and restaurant sits on the outskirts of Abergavenny, surrounded by gorgeous countryside. What's more, the family-run pub is pretty close to a beautiful National Trust park walk in the Usk Valley.
The Clytha short circular walk, which is only 3.8 miles, snakes alongside the River Usk, through leafy woods and paths that meander through trees, including oak, sweet chestnut and beech, all of which are worth looking out for. On the short walk, you'll also pass the ruins of St Aeddan's Chapel and see far-reaching views of the Sugar Loaf before a track takes you up to Clytha Castle.
