Nestled in the Golden Valley, Ewyas Harold is a beautiful village with a rich history. The remains of an ancient motte-and-bailey castle remain in the west of the village, though only the motte remains to hint at its former glory.

To the north is Ewyas Harold Common, boasting roaming ponies and splendid views towards Wales' Black Mountains. Hillwalking in the surrounding countryside includes routes to Garway Hill and Mynydd Ferddin.
