'Handy Pandy!' A good location for touring
We spent week at Pandy, the location just off the main road A465, (dont use sat nav to get here) some 15 minutes from the Market Town of Abergavenny Was excellent for our needs. The site though seemed fully booked when we arrived, it didnt seem busy, with tourers coming and going after staying for a few nights. The wardens were lovely, very friendly.
The site has wonderful facitlites, spotless, the showers lovely and very hot, infact my daughter (6) describes the shower like going in a car wash..she loved it!
Having read previous reviews, stating not really a family site? Our children 6/13 loved it, there was an area where they could kick a ball, throw frisbee, though small, quite adequate for our needs. There is a lovely little walk past this to the river, where the children and the dog happily paddled (the dog swam!) and sheep from the fields under a lovely old railway bridge walked across the to another field!
Yes there is a regular train service (passenger and freight), yes they are often but they fly past and you get used to it, We pitched on a grassed area on the opposite side to the train line, you can hear the river honduu, which was lovely to wake up to.
During our stay we visited the local castles, White, Skenfrith both wonderful! Stopped for a beer at Wales oldest Pub and visited Llanthony Abbey small but stunning.
We travelled to Waterfall Country (highly recommended) and spent 5 hours visiting all the waterfalls, not for the fainthearted getting to and from the last waterfall approx 160 steps up and down to get to it, but well worth visiting.
All in all a lovely stay at Pandy.
