Abbeycwmhir was once home to the largest abbey in Wales, though it was never finished. In 1401, the building was burned to the ground by Owain Glyndŵr’s forces and the ruins can still be seen. Today, the village is on the Glyndŵr’s Way long-distance trail and hikers have a couple of accommodation options. The Happy Union pub has a holiday cottage and, although it doesn’t serve standard pub meals, you can arrange sandwiches or soup in advance. There’s also a B&B in the village.
