Where to shop

Pop into pretty Crickhowell (above left) to shop on a high street voted Britain’s best. At the Oriel CRIC Gallery (above right), peruse paintings of landscapes by local artists, as well as ceramics and textiles (facebook.com/orielcric). For local delicacies, head to the Black Mountains Smokery, where you can pick up raw honey, Dragon’s smoked salted butter and charcuterie made at Trealy Farm in Monmouthshire (trealyfarmcharcuterie.co.uk).
