What to do in Abergavenny

Activities, attractions and tours

Monmouthshire & Brecon canal
Abergavenny is a cute little town right on the edge of Brecon Beacons National Park, and the meadow along the River Usk is a great place to go for a walk. There are paved paths and cut paths through the grass that wander along the river edge and around the ponds and groves of trees throughout the meadow. I saw signs warning not to feed the horses or cows that graze in the meadow, which is freely accessible to the public, but the only animals there during my visit were happy dogs enjoying a romp without their leashes.

The castle courtyard highlights some of the fine details that went into the castle construction. Raglan is a grand 15th-century castle that eventually fell to Parliamentary forces during the English Civil War (1646). The castle was surrendered mostly in-tact, but was slighted (purposefully disabled) to prevent any future use as a fortification. Today it's an atmospheric ruin that makes for a fun visit.
