Activities
The Celtic Manor Resort is set in 1400 acres of panoramic parkland, which lends itself perfectly to the numerous outdoor activities which are available on site.
Mountain Biking
There are numerous woodland trails which wind their way around the Resort’s grounds, offering an ideal location for mountain biking enthusiasts or those who just want some gentle exercise and fresh air during their stay.
Mountain bikes for adults and children are available to hire on a half or full day basis, as are helmets and biking shoes. If you prefer to bring your own bikes, we will of course, store them securely on your behalf.
Walking and Hiking
The same woodland trails are also ideal for walks, a gentle jog or a five mile run. Within the Resort estate, the scenery is glorious taking you via the golf courses, through the woods and along the Usk Valley.
For those who want to explore further afield, there are plenty of established routes in the local area, such as the 50-mile Usk Valley Walk which offers quiet countryside, wonderful views, sleepy villages, market towns and medieval castles.
Shooting
For lovers of outdoor sporting pursuits, Treetops Shooting School is located in woodland, a 15-minute drive from Celtic Manor and caters for all levels of expertise, from beginners to professionals. It offers clay pigeon shooting with expert tuition in a safe, professionally-managed environment. Guests from the Resort are transported to and from the shooting school.
