The old drovers' village of Painscastle has the remains of a Norman Castle and an excellent pub, The Roast Ox, 1.5 miles from the house. There is fabulous walking on your doorstep; step out of the farmhouse and walk through Trowley farmland onto Painscastle Common, where nature lovers can spot wild ponies, red kite and Buzzards. Just outside Painscastle is the Begwns Hill Common, a beautiful walking area owned and managed by the National Trust. Creating a stunning backdrop to any walk on the Trowley farm is the Brecon Beacons National Park and also the Black Mountains which are both extremely popular for cycling, walking and paragliding.
