It is the perfect time to share with you our own ‘Cwmdu Bucket List’!
Don’t know where to eat? Want a great walk? Running out of meal ideas? Or perhaps too tired? Look no further- we have some great suggestions below!
Morning
To start the morning, we suggest a delicious and local coffee from the award-winning company, ‘Black Mountain Roast’ paired with delicious sausage or bacon from ‘Richard’s Butchers’ that is based in Crickhowell, all sold in our shop. Both make the perfect combination for an excellent energy boost as well as a guaranteed tummy filler! However, if you fancy something a little sweeter, we recommend ‘Llangattock Apiaries Honey’ – this is as local as it gets and if spread over some toast, you will easily tell that it is as delicious as it gets, too.
After this, we suggest a walk!
Although we are surrounded by so many mountains and so many well-known mountains at that, we want to share with you a walk, up and along a mountain, that’s slightly more off the radar but takes you straight from the campsite to the Crickhowell (Winner of UK’s Best High Street 2019).
For the walk, you can always come into the shop to talk through this route with a member of our team or purchase one of our many maps!
Now, if a big walk is not what you fancy. You can always drive into Crickhowell, park up and head down to the river. Crickhowell hosts a beautiful and calm stretch of the river which is perfect for swimming and it is attached to the river beds in ‘Bull Pit Meadow’ which is a more than ideal place, walk, let your dog off for a run, picnics and a snooze in the shade. Don’t forget, you can easily walk to the river from the campsite too, to change up your ‘Cwmdu Bucket List’.
Afternoon
Following this, we then suggest a browse around the beautiful town. Did you know that Crickhowell is one of the only completely independent towns in the UK? It is so charming and has a unique range of shops, including a beautiful female clothes store (CwCw), a fabulous gift shop (Nicholls), a super useful adventure shop, a smoked food shop (Black Mountains Smokery), a book shop and various butchers and grocery shops selling fantastic, local produce.
Early Evening
By this point, you’ll most likely be looking for somewhere to eat! Although there are various great cafes and pubs, we suggest you head to ‘The Bear Hotel’. The Bear is a family-run, dog-friendly Coaching Inn that offers all the facilities of a comfortable Hotel with an incredible reputation for delivering quality. Our Warden’s, Cesco and Dave, couldn’t recommend the food more, after trying their ‘salt and pepper squid’ and describing it as “utterly delicious”. With both indoor and outdoor seating, the Bear is the perfect place for some tired walkers or fine dining!
Evening
Following a delicious meal, we then reccomend heading home for an evening of hot chocolate around the fire pit! We sell incredible, homemade hot chocolate stirrers from ‘Brecon Chocolates’, where all you need is a cup of warm milk. We also hire out fire pits, meaning it’s one less thing to pack but an extra camping luxury for you!
