Ciderhouse Cottage

We are 5 miles from Monmouth in the beautiful Welsh borders and situated in the most gorgeous countryside between the Wye Valley & Black Mountains.  Monmouth is a Welsh border market town situated at the confluence of the Rivers Wye, Monnow and Trothy. It has a medieval 13th century bridge over the River Monnow, unique in Britain as it is the only preserved bridge of its design remaining-

Penylan, meaning top-of-the-hill, is situated in the Parish of Llangattock-vibon-Avel and was originally part of the historic Hendre Estate, home of the famous Rolls family. Co-founder of Rolls-Royce, Charles Stewart Rolls was also celebrated as a racing driver, record breaker and aviator. In 1910 he became the first person to fly the Channel both ways. He is buried in the churchyard at Llangattock next to the Manor house where he spent his childhood.  His statue can be found in Agincourt Square in Monmouth together with the statue of Henry V who was born in Monmouth Castle.
