Built literally on the strip of land that used to be the Brecon line north of the A438 at Three Cocks, this establishment has built up over some 15 years from a small plant shop, to a fully-fledged Garden Centre and Tea Shop.

The Old Barn Inn restaurant

Next to the A438, here looking north-east. This pub is a very good eating place for those with a good appetite. The building near the road is the restaurant and is indeed a converted barn.

River Wye at Glasbury

Looking south-east across the river as evening sun strikes the extensive Himalayan Balsam. This plant looks attractive, but is a very intrusive weed which has spread widely along the banks.
