Private education can be found in Brecon and Monmouth.
The area is renowned for its walks, especially along the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal which runs alongside the village and for the more adventurous, the many mountains of the Bannau Brycheiniog are all close by, including the famous Pen y Fan, the highest peak in Southern Britain, giving spectacular views across the region.
