In the heart of 'Kilvert Country', the Rhosgoch/Painscastle valley offers a number of attractions for the discerning traveller.

In this quiet valley, far from main roads and the hum of the 21st century, you will find peace and tranquility. There are the remains of Pains Castle - one of the most important castles in Radnorshire and the site of an ancient fort and possibly a Roman Camp,

There are numerous burial mounds and other ancient remains in the area as well as heather moorland and the Rhosgoch Bog - protected and conserved by the Countryside Coucil for Wales.

For the modern visitor we have a golf course in Rhosgoch, trout fishing, Horse riding on the wonderful open hills as well as mile sof open space for walking and bird watching.

We also have churches visited and loved by the Rev. Francis Kilvert and immortalised in his diaries - Bryngwyn, Llanbedr, Newchurch and Llandewi Fach.

The valley is within easy reach of centres such as Hereford and the Black & White Heritage Trail of this lush and fertile area.

Lane Farm is close to the Brecon Beacons National Park, Llandrindod Wells and even the coast (1.5 hours).

Builth Wells, the site of the Royal Welsh Show, is only 11 miles away and has it's own theatre (as does Brecon) as well as all the year round activities on the showground.

Closer to hand is Hay-on-Wye, the centre for second-hand books and abounding with antique shops and gift shops as well as being the centre for everyday shopping.
