There are routes for mountain bikers and it's easy to hire bicycles and enjoy leisurely routes amidst ancient forests or along canal towpaths!
Take to the saddle - Horses for courses!
If you prefer the horse saddle to the bike then you'll enjoy riding, pony trekking, hacking and trail riding. All cater for beginners as well as experienced riders with tracks for independent riders, or you can ride with a qualified equestrian centre for a holiday that will help you learn and improve your riding skills whilst having fun and looking after horses.
Tee Time - We leave others green with envy.
These two exceptional valleys teem with stunning golf courses. Winner supreme is the 2010 Ryder Cup host venue The Celtic Manor Resort. But with so many lush, green courses that offer exquisite golf, and views, you're spoilt for choice. A golfer's paradise.
Take to the air - The sky's the limit.

Gliders also soar the skies from the nearby club at Usk.
Test the water - Plain sailing or action and adventure
The region's waterways come alive with the cast of a line, paddle of an oar and setting of sail. Feel the adrenaline rush of dingy sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking or white water rafting or enjoy more leisurely hours angling the Usk and Wye or cruising the now serene and recreational canal.
