The Park in Monmouthshire is a picturesque woodland area that offers visitors a tranquil and idyllic retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Located in the heart of the county, this forested paradise spans over 200 acres and boasts a diverse range of flora and fauna.

The Park is renowned for its ancient oak trees, which create a majestic canopy overhead, allowing dappled sunlight to filter through and illuminate the forest floor. These trees are not only a sight to behold but also provide a habitat for a variety of bird species, including woodpeckers and owls.

Visitors to The Park can explore its many walking trails, each offering a unique perspective of the woodland. The trails meander through the forest, passing babbling brooks, wildflower meadows, and hidden clearings. Nature enthusiasts will be delighted by the abundance of wildlife that can be spotted along the way, such as deer, foxes, and squirrels.

In addition to its natural beauty, The Park also offers a range of recreational activities. There are designated picnic areas where visitors can enjoy a leisurely lunch surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. For those seeking more adventure, there are opportunities for mountain biking, horseback riding, and even orienteering.

The Park is a haven for both locals and tourists alike, providing a peaceful retreat where one can reconnect with nature. Its serene atmosphere and stunning scenery make it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking solace in the beauty of the outdoors.

Triley Court, Abergavenny One of a few striking country houses situated near Abergavenny, this one was a care home for many years until legislation changes made it untenable and I believe it may still be on the market. It would make a great hotel/country club maybe.

I know the selling agents were stating it is 'a Queen Anne style country house' but a bit of Googling reveals that it was built in the late Georgian period for or by a Thomas Philips Price, a man who inherited a fortune off an uncle and became an MP (Liberal) and High Sherriff of Monmouthshire, as well as sinking coal mines in the South Wales Valleys and living in Florence.

The property commands great views over the valley towards the Skirrid/Ysgyryd Fawr. It is conspicuous from the A465 Hereford to Abergavenny road.

Triley Court near Abergavenny This elegant country house is brick built in the late Georgian period (early 1800's) and has a triangular pediment with a decorated string course. The house alone is 16,000 square feet and the estate includes other cottages, a lake I believe, glasshouses and formal and kitchen gardens.

It would make a great film set - if they do any more Jane Austens and the like.
