Upper House & Spa is ideal for walking holidays because of its position directly at the foot of the Black Mountains, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Offa's Dyke is one of the many walking routes available.
For many walks, you can start right on your doorstep, without having to drive your car a single minute. Being nestled underneath Black Hill, of Bruce Chatwin fame, we have created a number of walks outlined and detailed in this Document Red, Blue and Yellow routes around the Farm.

Red route around lower section of Upper House Farm
Hay Bluff via the Olchon Valley
This National Trail is a 285km-long path starting at the Severn Estuary and ending in North-East Wales. It is the longest British National Monument and dates back 1,200 years ago, when the Anglo-Saxon king Offa commissioned this defensive construction in the second half of the 8th century A.D. This path which runs over 2 ridges down behind the Farm above the Olchon Valley, crosses many areas of outstanding natural beauty.
