Gwern Hesgog is set in a secluded country location at an altitude of 300 m (980 ft), is approached over a private cored lane and the nearest neighbour, Glanalders Farm is ¼-mile to the South. The house has a South-Easterly aspect and the land mainly runs along a wooded valley below. This is great riding country and there are quiet lanes and bridleways over the hills to a large area of forestry which surrounds Abbey-cwm-hir. The first ½-mile of the access lane is shared with the farm, the A44 (Oxford to Aberystwyth road) is 2.1 miles and the junction with the A483 at Crossgates is 6½-miles and Penybont Railway Station is 7 miles (Shrewsbury to Swansea Line). The historic market town of Rhayader is within 6 miles and has a range of shops, Primary School, Leisure Centre and Elan Valley Dams are about 10 miles. The County Town of Llandrindod Wells is 7.8 miles (shortest route via Llanyre) and has a range of shops (Tesco Superstore, Aldi Supermarket), Secondary School, Hospital, Leisure Centre, Golf Club, indoor an outdoor bowls, active U3A, Theatre, etc. The market town of Builth Wells is 19 miles and the border towns of Knighton, Presteigne and Kington are roughly 23 miles distant. This area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and tranquillity, yet is only a 1-hours drive from the University Town and coastal resort of Aberystwyth and the English marcher towns of Leominster and Ludlow, and Hereford City (Dependent on traffic conditions).
