PEN-Y-CRUG HILLFORT

Within walking distance of the village, the vast Iron Age archaeological site of Pen-y-Crug occupies the top of a hill (at an altitude of 331 metres). There are five rows of ramparts that form a large circular enclosure. The Celts protected themselves by throwing stones at their attackers from this promontory.

After the ascent, which is accessible to all, it is a pleasure to sit on the old stones of this spectacular site to contemplate the superb view of the Usk Valley or to settle for a good picnic.
