A great example of an English Heritage maintained castle with audio tour technology. A very interesting day out. Stunning views can be had from the towers and there is a café and shop for refreshments and souvenirs.

The cottage is located within the AONB and a conservation area full of historic buildings and places of interest. The wye is just a short 1.5 mile walk away following down the Whitebrook stream through the seasonal snowdrop and bluebell woods. Once at the Wye you can enjoy a walk or cycle along the famed Wye Valley path.

The Anchor is a fairly large restaurant pub located by Tintern Abbey. It makes a good place to eat after the walk to the Devils Pulpit or a visit to the Abbey (or both). There is a good menu at reasonable prices with a nice friendly atmosphere which is cosmopolitan reflecting the many tourists visiting rather than all local folk (which can sometimes be intimidating for visitors).

Wonderful restored barn with a complete cider mill apple press in the centre. High quality food at average prices. Listed in the Michelin Guide but it won't break the bank. Ideal for that special occation.
