History and amenities

[edit]

The River Usk flows close by and the area is a rural agricultural part of the county.

Nant-y-Derry’s manor house, the Neoclassical Llanfair Grange, was the home of Harry Llewellyn in the mid-20th century. The Foxhunter Inn, a local pub, is named in honour of Llewellyn's famous horse, Foxhunter.

Celebrity chef and Market Kitchen presenter Matt Tebbutt, owns the Foxhunter and run it as a gastropub. Tebbutt tried to sell the pub in 2011 due to his busy television schedule, however following reaction from local residents he decided to take it off the market.[1]
