Whether it's immersing yourself in the wilds of the surrounding valleys and forests, with walks and bicycle treks, or canoeing down some of the most beautiful stretches of the river Wye, there is real diversity of outdoor sports to choose from.

Surrounding golf courses range from the quirky to luxurious, with the Rolls of Monmouth (its club house formally the mansion of the founder of Rolls-Royce) offering one of the most outstanding golf courses in the UK.

While more traditional country sports can be enjoyed with nearby clay pigeon shooting or a day out at the local races. All offering ways to immerse yourself in the countryside and its way of life.
