A very pretty woodland wildlife pond (securely fenced for child safety) and a pleasant pub are within walking distance. The Palleg Golf Course is 3 fields over or a short drive, and there are numerous walks from the front door.

Cwm Clydach RSPB reserve is a wonderful place to see all sorts of rare wildlife and the riverside and woodland walks are lovely.

The breathtaking Porth-yr-Ogof (or 'gateway to the cave') caves which boasts Wales' largest cave opening and is an excellent place to learn more about caving and perhaps give it a try yourself.

Henrhyd Falls and Aberdulais Falls are both worth a visit. The falls themselves are stunning and make sure you visit the National Trust Aberdulais Tin Works.
