The area and getting around
Abergavenny is a small village within the county of Monmouthshire. In this area, it is close to the great rivers Usk and Gavenny, so you can even witness springs and rivers that are adorned by high bridges and classic British style. This, coupled with Abergavenny's iconic castles, makes for a town worthy of noble people and landscapes drawn by royalty. History is essential in these landscapes, you can learn about their culture while reading a book in the company of a lake. Perhaps that is what the Welsh poets would have wanted to do forever.
The village of a thousand namesThe village of Abergavenny is known in Wales as Y Fenni, Abergafenni and at one time many years ago as Gobannium. Interestingly, the name Y Fenni is related to a famous Welsh cheese called Y Fenny. This cheese is a cheddar cheese coated with a peculiar red colour which the citizens call "Red Dragon" after the dragon on the Welsh flag. In addition, the Fenni were an ancient group from barbarian Europe. Until now, historians are still mapping the Roman Empire trying to locate the possible movements and locations of these people.

You can't go anywhere in Abergavenny without noticing that it sits on the lush edge of the Brecon Beacons. Near the town, there are three mountains you want to climb: Sugarloaf, Brongue and Skirid are big names. Sugarloaf Mountain is the only real mountain, and for the more demanding hikers, the 10km walk from CountryFile Magazine's Llanwenarth car park takes you to the top through wonderful woodland and bogs. Brorengue Peak is easily accessible, with long trails leading to the summit, but don't miss the oak-lined walk to the stunning Punchbowl Lake.
Abergavenny for art loversAbergavenny is full of attractive venues for making friends with artists. For example, a local organization, Art Shop, sits outside the doors of a 16th-century terraced house, tucked away in a hideaway full of sunlit art materials, ornate paper and books from Welsh printers. There's also an upstairs gallery, and the corners and basic kitchens of the shops contain wonderful little crafts that are cleverly hidden away.
