Situation

Craswall is a linear settlement approximately 7 miles from Hay-on-Wye. The village is known as a highly desirable destination for holiday makers, tourists and those seeking somewhere far from the maddening crowd. Craswall is a haven for wildlife and recreation and yet accessible from the M4 junction 24 at Newport. The village also boasts an excellent pub / restaurant known as the Bulls Head which has recently reopened to high acclaim.
Hay-on-Wye is approximately 7 miles away and is a renowned bustling market town which is popular with tourists and is famous for its annual literary festival. The town, often referred to as the ‘town of books’ due to its wealth of second-hand bookshops, offers an excellent range of facilities including boutique shops, restaurants, cafes, a supermarket, medical practice, two dental surgeries, a primary school, cinema and several public houses.
The Black Mountains offer excellent walking and riding opportunities with the Offa’s Dyke path being a popular walking route.
