Why not join us for longer?
If you're joining us for one of these courses why not take advantage of the fact that Abergavenny is the gateway to the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park and is within just a short drive of many of the most dramatic and fascinating heritage sites in South Wales?
You could extend your visit by for a few days or even come back and stay with us for a longer period? The Hill offers Bed & Breakfast accommodation and we even have a self-catering holiday let - the recently refurbished Lodge which stands at the entrance to our grounds.

Adult Residential Colleges Association (ARCA)
ARCA colleges are a group of small colleges specialising in short-stay, residential adult education courses for the general public.
Many of the colleges are historic houses set in beautiful countryside. Whatever the setting, getting away from the pressures and distractions of everyday life – even for a couple of days – is a great tonic. Combine this with one of your interests and you have all the ingredients for a great time. Experienced tutors are ready to help you take on fresh challenges, find sheer enjoyment in learning and help you become involved with like-minded people. Courses can be as intensive or relaxed as you want them to be: tutors are as varied and interesting as you could wish.
