The farming community and remote villages provide a virtually unspoilt area of peace and tranquility.
The Golden Valley and Black Mountains offer leisure activities for all kinds of taste. You can observe the wildlife, or go hiking along Offa's Dyke path.
For those who prefer more strenuos activities you will be able to find golf courses, horse-riding, trekking, canoeing, cycling, fishing, and gliding within short distance.
Wonderful, friendly village pubs and restaurants provide delicious home-grown or local produce.
Nearby Abergavenny, Ross-on-Wye, Brecon, Monmouth, and the cathedral city of Hereford give visitors a unique opportunity to see the 13th century Mappa Mundi.

Local Church: Saint Faith's, Crosby
Traditionally it is stated that Richard de Brito, one of the murderers of Thomas a Becket founded a chapel in the neighbourhood of this church in expiation of his crime. Stones found at the site of the church during two of its rebuildings indicate a date of 1256 and it is considered that the original church on the site was founded by Johannes de Brito who died in 1275. There is, however, a belief that a church existed on the site before the Norman conquest and that Richard de Brito added a chapel to it. The church was dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
