High Cloud

Property Details

High Cloud is that little bit special.

The lofty sanctuary of the explorer Christina Dodwell, this spacious hilltop property is redolent with her adventures. Maps, books, pictures and artefacts from her travels are everywhere.

High Cloud looks out over the stunning landscape of the Welsh marches. Dine on the terrace and gaze at the magnificent ruins of Raglan Castle, watch the sun set over Mynydd Pen-y-Fal, Abergavenny’s own Sugarloaf Mountain. Set in its own extensive grounds, the property is the perfect private, rural retreat.

For those wishing simply to relax, High Cloud offers plenty of entertainment on site; including a hot tub, an outdoor heated swimming pool (summer only), croquet lawn and games room with table tennis, table football and pool. Take a stroll through the woods and along a waterfall strewn stream. If you are feeling more energetic there is a grassy running track around the farm’s perimeter.

High Cloud is also ideal for those wishing to make the most of the myriad sporting opportunities in the Forest of Dean or the Brecon Beacons.

A country pub is just a 5 minute drive away at the bottom of the hill. Monmouth, an attractive border market town with independent shops and a lively cultural life is 15 minutes by car. Award winning pubs and restaurants are within easy reach.
