About Abergavenny

Nestled at the confluence of the River Usk and Gavenny, Abergavenny is often referred to as the "Gateway to Wales." This picturesque market town is dramatically framed by the Black Mountains and the eastern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, creating one of the most stunning settings in Wales. The town's Welsh name "Y Fenni" is still commonly used by Welsh speakers.

Abergavenny's history stretches back to the Roman period, when the fort of Gobannium was established to guard the strategic road connecting Caerleon and Brecon. However, it was during the Norman period that the town began to flourish, with the construction of Abergavenny Castle in the late 11th century. Though now in ruins, the castle remains an important landmark and houses a museum detailing the town's rich history.

Today, Abergavenny is perhaps best known for its outstanding food culture. The annual Abergavenny Food Festival, held each September, has grown to become one of the UK's most prestigious culinary events, attracting top chefs, food producers, and thousands of visitors. This gastronomic reputation is supported year-round by excellent restaurants, cafes, and food shops showcasing the best of Welsh produce.

The town center retains much of its historic character, with the Victorian Market Hall still hosting regular markets. The shopping streets feature an appealing mix of independent retailers, national chains, and antique shops. St Mary's Priory Church, founded in the 11th century, is often called "the Westminster Abbey of Wales" due to its size and historical importance, housing the UK's largest collection of medieval wood carvings.

Abergavenny's location makes it a perfect base for outdoor enthusiasts. The town is surrounded by seven hills, including the iconic Sugar Loaf and Skirrid, offering spectacular walking routes with panoramic views. The Brecon Beacons National Park provides endless opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and horse riding, while the River Usk is renowned for its salmon and trout fishing.

Transport links are excellent, with the A40 trunk road connecting the town to Monmouth and England to the east, and Brecon to the west. The A465 Heads of the Valleys road provides access to the South Wales valleys and beyond. Abergavenny railway station offers regular services to Cardiff, Manchester, and other major cities, making the town accessible despite its seemingly remote mountain setting.
