Hotels in Blackwood

Settle in the South Wales Valleys

The Caerphilly town of Blackwood was once famous for being the birthplace of Chartism, and the movement is celebrated by a number of landmarks, including the Chartist Bridge. Today, however, it is better known for its thriving high street and vibrant annual beach parties.

Step back in time at Llancaiach Fawr Manor

The dramatic 16th-century Llancaiach Fawr Manor House overlooks the Glamorgan Uplands just outside of Blackwood. Once a Tudor stronghold, it's now open for the public to tour its rooms and grounds. Costumed staff are on hand to tell you all about the manor's history, and if you're feeling brave, you can even book a ghost tour.

Take in the sights of Cardiff

As well as offering access to the countryside, Blackwood is within easy reach of Cardiff. Explore the city's stunning parks, keep your eyes peeled for Daleks on a Doctor Who tour or immerse yourself in Welsh history and fine art at the National Museum.
