This weekend you have a rare opportunity to visit Llwyn Celyn, near Abergavenny, open to the public only twice a year.

Set at the southern end of the beautiful Llanthony Valley, Llwyn Celyn was built in 1420 on lands belonging to Llanthony Priory. It is a remarkable survival from the period following Owain Glyndŵr’s Rising, and has barely changed since around 1690, with many rare medieval features still intact.

Open on 6th and 7th June from 10am to 4pm, entry is FREE but booking is required via Landmark Engagement

Visitors can explore the farmhouse, Threshing Barn and Beast House, learn about its history and restoration.

A highlight for younger visitors on Saturday (10am–2pm) is the hands-on ‘LEGO Landmarks’ workshop, where children can build colourful Welsh landmarks using thousands of LEGO bricks, guided by a ‘master builder’.

Thank you to Landmark Engagement for the photos.
