| Events in Abercraf
Abercraf, in Powys, is three miles from the town of Ystradgynlais on the slopes of the mountain Cribarth, famous for its 'Sleeping Giant' appearance. On the boundary of The Brecon Beacons National Park, this area is well suited for sports enthusiasts as kayaking, go-karting and quadbiking are all available locally as are abseiling, canoeing, rock climbing, caving and gorge walking. The village boasts the only specialist caving shop in Wales and is home to the headquarters of the South Wales Cavers Club. For those who prefer to be above ground, Henrydd Falls are the highest in South Wales, where it is sometimes possible to walk behind the falls and swim in its waters. Adelina Patti, the greatest soprano of her day, will always be associated with her home near Abercraf. She gave it the romantic name of Craig-y-Nos - the Rock of Night She spent over forty years and a small fortune refurbishing it as a Gothic castle. Fallen into disrepair after a spell as a hospital - it’s now restored as a fine country hotel. A stay here or at The Phoenix Retreat (the local centre for holistic health courses) will provide rejuvenation after all this strenuous activity.
