Abergavenny is an ideal holiday destination for those who love food. The Abergavenny Food Festival in late September received Best Event awards from the Visit Wales Tourism Board. With a programme of demonstrations, entertainment and special events at the festival, it’s easy to see why! The Market Hall in the town centre often thrives with craft fairs and farmers’ markets. Stock up on good organic produce and top tips for recipes to try out in the kitchen in your cottage rental.

Abergavenny also has an abundance of sporting activities for you to do. Abergavenny is extremely popular with walkers due to its fantastic walks around the three mountains surrounding the town – the Skirrid, the Blorenge and the Sugar Loaf. Wernddu Golf Course is only a mile outside the town and boasts a stunning backdrop of the Welsh countryside. There are separate bike trails too, and many places to hire bikes out, so don’t worry about bringing your own! The mountains are also very popular with horse riders, offering hourly and full-day rides for experienced riders and beginners alike.

Abergavenny is steeped in history, and many fortifications around the area remain. Excellent examples are Raglan Castle, White Castle & Skenfrith, and the ruined Abergavenny Castle just south of the town centre. A hunting lodge on top of the motte now acts as a fascinating museum, which gives an insight into Abergavenny’s past.

There are many things to do and places to eat in the evenings too. Many restaurants serving delicious food are dotted around the town, which makes a nice change from eating at your holiday rental. For entertainment after your meal, the popular Borough Theatre is housed inside the town hall and hosts various performances from amateur dramatics to Shakespearian drama. Artists will love The Art Shop on the High Street – equipped to meet the needs of every type of artist, with upstairs rooms given over to exhibitions mainly by Welsh artists of national repute. Just across the road, theatre-goers are guaranteed good quality entertainment at the town’s Borough Theatre, which sits above the Pannier Market – another must-see place when staying in Abergavenny.
