CRICKHOWELL
Crickhowell is a picturesque town (population of about 2,800) a few miles from Abergavenny. It takes its name from an Iron Age Hill Fort above the town called Crug Hywel. The area was known to the Romans who built forts within the region. A motte and bailey castle, remains of which still exist, was built by the Normans. A well known feature of the town is the 16th century bridge spanning the River Usk – thirteen arches can be seen from one end of the bridge, whilst only twelve are visible from the other end. Another famous feature of the town is The Bear Hotel, a former coaching inn which retains its ‘post horses’ archway and original cobbles.
Crickhowell holds a Walking Festival each year at the end of February to early March. The walks cover the full range – from tough all day treks across the mountains and moors to easy low level strolls. The Events Programme is designed to be complementary to the Walks Programme. The evenings feature a range of entertainments from talks through films to music, culminating, as usual, in our popular Twmpath on the last Saturday.
