About this property
Forming part of an award winning mill conversion, this sympathetically finished three storey town house is nestled in the rugged Clydach gorge, yet is just 200 metres from Gilwern village centre.
Gilwern is a traditional village with pubs, shops, and a picturesque canal. It sits on the edge of the Blaenavon World Heritage site, and you can enjoy country walks right from your doorstep or visit the historic town of Abergavenny (4 miles) full of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes. Nearby are galleries, museums, castles and a vineyard, or hire a narrowboat; you can see the viaduct crossing the Clydach just a little way up the gorge. Other attractions in the area include Blaenavon Iron Works (7 miles), The Big Pit National Coal Museum (7 miles), the Brecon Beacons Visitor Centre (22 miles), horse riding, mountain biking, climbing, and kayaking on the Usk and Wye.
