The Hardwick is a gastro-pubby type 'restaurant with rooms' and displays it's foody credentials in its signage and fashionable white exterior. Its full car park on a Friday lunchtime is also surely a sign that what it offers the paying customer is good. Neighbouring pubs still ploughing a traditional furrow must wonder what they need to do to compete.

A wayside pub, renamed after the locality and now renowned for its food and well-known chef, once just a run-of-the-mill pub called the Horse and Jockey, if I recall correctly. Good to see it doing well.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The A4598 and a view across the Usk valley towards Blorenge, an Abergavenny bound train can be seen in the middle distance.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The Mon. and Brec. Canal is on the other side of the valley. That, surely, is the only reasonable explanation for a farmer having a canal boat in a field out front. Or maybe compulsive hoarding? I like his style anyway.

Dist:0.3km<br/>In the distance can be seen Pen y Fal (Sugarloaf). The train is funded by the Welsh Assembly Government in an attempt to bring north and south together.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking north-west from a lay-by on the A40. An older road which once carried the same designation runs parallel to it a little to the north-east, and is now known as the B4598. The skyline is dominated by Pen y Fâl/the Sugarloaf, a mountain which has an even finer profile when seen from the east. Stuart Wilding's [[1213537]] is a shot taken from a position just across the railway line to the west.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The trees suggest this field between the River Usk and the A40 is parkland.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Posh gates for a posh equine establishment.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The waymarked path offers excellent riverside walking plus some excellent views of this part of the Usk Valley and Sugar Loaf.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The farmer here has been trimming some trees on the field boundary and has a field here filled with his various gadgets. Lovely view across the width of the Usk Valley beyond.
