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!

The former Augustine priory, dating back to around 1100, is a Grade I listed building and can be visited for free.

Amazing ruined abbey, with a lovely little cafe/bar toilets, and I think they have a campsite too.
