I'm not that poster, but I happened to be in the area last Wednesday, with a rare bit of good weather. This is from the Skirrid, looking towards the Sugar Loaf, Abergavenny just out of sight to the left. 
If you click, you should find a few more in the same set (including some of Lord Hereford's Knob actually in the Black Mountains), but none of them are up to the standards of this thread.

Yes, it's excellent for that. Especially if it's the sort of holiday with landscapes in it. For my recent holiday I took the 15mm and a 18-250 superzoom, and used them about 40:60.

So I was ready to go on holiday to Oman, with my Tamron 18-250 superzoom for convenience and a Sigma 17-50 for quality, when I got introduced to primes via an old manual 50/1.7. I got to thinking that if I had a wide angle prime or two, I could leave the Sigma behind. I agonised over 21mm versus 15mm, but something led me inexorably to this thread. I read every post. Part of what swayed me was knowing I already had 3 zoom lenses that can do 21mm, but nothing wider than 17mm.
I ended up taking 4 lenses, and using the 18-250mm and the 15mm a lot, and the M50 and a 55-300mm kit hardly at all. I probably used the 15mm too much; I certainly found I could take bad pictures with it. So much is included in the frame, it's easy to end up with photos that aren't really about anything.
Anyway, here are some pictures.
This is an early morning view from a Dhow, moored in the middle of nowhere.
