This week’s personal view comes from Carole Paish who is one of the owners of Bridge Cafe in Brecon. The Bridge Cafe is situated in Llanfaes, Brecon near the River Usk, and yes you probably guessed it, it’s also next to a bridge!
The Bridge Cafe serves a good hearty menu of delicious home made foods and also offers very comfortable accommodation starting from £55 per night. For their special offers click here.

5. My favourite pub is “…New Inn, Bwlch because Oscar and Rees are entertaining and it has a proper fire…”
6. I would have my picture “taken behind Scudd yr Eira (location that shouts the BB) because there aren’t many places you can walk behind a waterfall.”
