Crickhowell Castle sits above the town and is one of the best tourist attractions in the area. The remains are Grade-I listed and date back to the 13th century, providing an expanse of ruins that visitors are free to explore all year round.
The most notable landmark in the town is Crickhowell’s 18th-century stone bridge, which spans the River Usk. At 420 feet it’s the longest bridge in Wales and attracts quite a number of visitors who come to photograph the structure or watch the water flowing beneath it and onwards to the Llangattock Escarpment.
South of Crickhowell is a valley named Clydach Gorge that was allegedly the area that inspired William Shakespeare to write A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The Lower Clydach Falls are a highlight, but there are also several caves and plenty of footpaths and walking trails to explore.
Crickenhowell’s position near both the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains means that it's a haven for walking fans. There is a wide range of different routes that you can follow from or through the town, and it’s also a great place to cycle with several trails suitable for bikes also cutting through the nearby area.
The range of shops and eateries in Crickhowell means that it’s very easy just to spend an afternoon dipping in and out of all the stores around the town, with plenty of independent businesses which helped to secure the area the title of the ‘UK’s Best Highstreet’ in 2018. Many of the pubs and restaurants in the area come highly recommended, and there’s also an award-winning smokehouse if you’re looking to stock up on supplies before you return home.
If you’re after day trip inspiration, Tretower Court & Castle can be found near to the town and is a brilliant historic attraction for all ages. The four-storey castle dates back to the 1100s and has a charming medieval garden, and there are usually events held over the summer months that cater to families.
When visiting towns and villages in the Brecon Beacons National Park like Crickhowell, you’ll have the best time when the weather is warm and dry. The summer months of June, July and August have the best weather in Wales because the temperatures are high and there is only a small chance of rain, but they will also be the busiest times of year, so visiting at the start of June and even the beginning of September offers the best chance of warm conditions and fewer crowds.
