Established in 1963, the Michelin-starred Walnut Tree serves the cuisine-hopping meat and seafood creations of chef Shaun Hill, with a focus on fresh, local produce. If you're too full to move far after feasting on dishes such as John Dory and crab with summer-vegetable minestrone, elegant cottage accommodation is available (from £150).
The Walnut Tree is 3 miles northeast of Abergavenny on the B4521.
