Crickhowell is a thriving market town in the Usk Valley and is the ideal location from which to visit ancient castles, beautiful churches, industrial heritage museums and some of Wales' finest galleries and craft centres.
The town is within the Brecon Brecons National Park and lies beneath the flat topped summit of Crughywel, an iron age fort. The remains of a Norman Castle can be seen within the parkland in the town centre. Other interesting features of Crickhowell include the 16th Century St. Edmund's Church.
