Discover Talgarth

The small market town of Talgarth is situated just 2 miles away from Berth Fedw. The area is rich with history and there has been a settlement on this site for at least 5000 years - the 13th century Peel Tower and 14th century Parish church are well worth a visit. Take a stroll just outside of the town centre and you'll find ancient woodland along the banks of the River Ennig. There are a series of waterfalls within the wood, the largest being Pwll-y-wrach or 'Witches Pool'. Local legend suggests that witches were ducked in this pool in medieval times. The woodland has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its special habitat values and the existence of some quite rare plants including the Lesser butterfly-orchid. The area is also home to a thriving colony of rare bats and dormice.

On a more practical note, Talgarth has a small supermarket, local chemist and an exceptionally good local butcher - many visitors order meat to take home at the end of their stay. There are also several good pubs and restaurants in the area.

Numerous outdoor activities and the perfect spot for gliders

Located just 8 miles from Brecon and 10 miles from Hay-on-Wye, Berth Fedw is excellently placed to offer a huge number of outdoor activities all based locally. Walk straight from the cottage onto the Black Mountains or over Rhos Fach Common. There is fantastic canoeing on the River Wye or Usk, pony trekking, clay pigeon shooting, fishing and more advanced riding can all be arranged locally.

The superb gliding centre at Talgarth is just 1 mile from Berth Fedw and with hand gliding also available off nearby Hay Bluff this is the perfect holiday cottage for gliding enthusiasts.

Horses are welcome too

Berth Fedw is attached to Berth Fedw Farmhouse where the owner's manage their 25 acre hill farm and keep sheep and horses. If you would like to bring your horse please discuss this with the owner and they will be happy to make the arrangements for you. The cottage is ideally situated on the Three Rivers Ride, a 38 mile route from Tidbach in Worcestershire to Hay Bluff and crossing the rivers Lugg, Wye and Usk en-route. A lovely way to see the area and keep livery costs down!

Prosecutor says two attackers stabbed NMSU student to death | Lubbock Online

ALBUQUERQUE {AP} Crime scene evidence suggests New Mexico State University student Carly Martinez struggled with two men before she was murdered, prosecutors told jurors at the trial of Jason Desnoyers. The 18-year-old student was driven to a remote Las Cruces mesa , was stabbed more than a dozen times in the head, chest, abdomen, back, thighs and buttocks, and her body was "left to rot" in the desert, District Attorney Susana Martinez said Tuesday. Two weapons were used, a single-edged knife and another instrument, said prosecutor Martinez , no relation to the victim. "Two weapons, two men," she said. Desnoyers, 24, is charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy, tampering with evidence and criminal solicitation.
