Abergavenny

Due to its location and easy access to the Brecon Beacons National Park and the nearby Black Mountains, is often referred to as the ‘Gateway to Wales’.

With its annual Abergavenny Food Festival, the town is also mecca for foodies – and there are plenty of gorgeous gastro pubs, ancient inns and restaurants to try.

Regular markets are held weekly in the town where you can buy quality produce grown locally too.

Abergavenny has history and heritage in spades – come and explore castles, medieval mansions, Roman remains and standing stones.
