Llanthony Priory is a partly ruined former Augustinian priory in the Black Mountains area of the Brecon Beacons National Park. As well as being a stunning place to visit it is a start point for many a hike and good stop point on a bike ride before or after doing the famed Gospel Pass (highest pass in Wales). It has a great little pub/tavern on site and nearby (between the priory and the road below) is a camp site if your back or bike packing. On a sunny day this is a heavenly place to be!

Llanthony Priory is an atmospheric ruin in the Vale of Ewyas. The priory was one of the earliest houses of Augustinian canons to be founded in Britain. Its origins date back to around 1100 when a Norman nobleman called Walter de Lacy discovered a ruined chapel of St David in the same spot and was inspired to devote himself to prayer. A church was soon established, which was recognised as a priory in around 1118. The church’s remote position made it vulnerable to attack, however, and the monks fled in 1135 to Hereford and Gloucester.
