Top 5 Summer things to do in Abergavenny

1. Explore the castle and museum

The ruins of the town’s Norman castle are set high above the river Usk with super views to the Blorenge mountain. On fine days you might see paragliders launching from the top of the Blorenge and landing in Castle Meadows alongside the river. In a Victorian hunting lodge built on the site of the original keep (which was destroyed during the Civil War in the mid-17th century), you’ll find the town’s museum. Throughout the summer holidays, there are free explorer trails and family activities here.

To delve further into Abergavenny’s history, follow the Trails and Tales for families route around the town. Start at any point on the walk (noting that the Tourist Information Centre has moved to the Tithe Barn near St. Mary’s Priory Church) and look out for the heritage plaques. Stop off at St Mary’s Priory Church to see a superb selection of medieval monuments including the 15th century Jesse Tree.

If you’ve time to venture outside Abergavenny, you can see magnificent birds of prey in action at Raglan Castle on 21 August and meet 15th century re-enactors at Tretower Court and Castle on 24-26 August.

2. Climb a mountain

Take your pick from the three mountains surrounding the town: Sugar Loaf, Blorenge and Skirrid Fawr. The highest, Sugar Loaf, standing at 1,955 feet (596 metres), has a distinctive cone-shaped peak and is a 9 mile (14.5 km) circular walk from the centre of town. Known as Pen-y-Fal in Welsh, it is cared for by the National Trust and has a car park at Llanwenarth on its south side which makes it an attractive choice if you fancy a shorter hike to the top.

From the summit on a clear day, you’ll have breathtaking 360° views which extend as far as the Brecon Beacons to the west, Hatterall Hill to the north-west and the Severn Estuary to the south.

3. Visit the market

Hardly a day goes by when there isn’t something for sale in the Victorian market hall – crafts, local food, antiques and so on. It’s also one of the main venues for the annual Food Festival held in September. You’ll need to use the rear door while renovation works are taking place on this historic building during 2019 but no visit to Abergavenny is complete without a browse around the market.

4. Enjoy a picnic

Linda Vista Gardens is a beautiful picnic spot, with green space, well-kept flower borders, specimen trees and meandering pathways. Originally a private garden, it has amazing views across Castle Meadows towards the Blorenge mountain. The grounds of Abergavenny Castle is another popular picnic place with plenty of benches. Families also enjoy picnicking in Bailey Park in the centre of town – complete with play-ground for children, vast green spaces and a path around its circumference which is great for running and gentle cycling.

But, before you head for your picnic spot, pick up a tasty selection of food from the independent cafés, delis, butchers and bakers in town. You’ll be spoilt for choice.

5. Wander along the riverbank

The river Usk which flows through Abergavenny is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and one of the UK’s best rivers for salmon fishing. But you don’t need to be a keen angler to appreciate this stretch of water – just head down to Castle Meadows, a glorious spot between the river and the town, criss-crossed by walking paths and with small wooded areas. It’s a popular area for dog-walking, late-evening strolls or simply sitting on a bench overlooking the river.

Just a 5-minute stroll from the high street, Castle Meadows are managed traditionally, being left to grow through spring and early summer then mowed and the hay collected for animal feed. Through the second half of the year, you’ll see cattle grazing here to keep the grass short. The meadows attract a wide range of birds, butterflies, dragonflies and other wildlife and otters are regularly spotted in the river.

Explore the river Usk and Castle Meadows by following this gentle 1.6 mile (2.4 km) walk which takes in Linda Vista Gardens, too. A great way to start is with a home-made soft-serve ice cream from The Angel Bakery in Lower Castle Street. The delicious flavours – such as malted milk, dark chocolate and fresh mint - change almost daily.

"Cardiff Castle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 . . Spent a few hours this afternoon wandering around Cardiff Castle @cardiff_castle with Grandma. We loved climbing all the way to the top of the keep (the flag behind them here!) And exploring the castle house with the lavish rooms. . . There was also so much space for the kids to run around and a great tea room for a pit stop (obviously a cookie 🙄) to refuel. . . We got the train from Penarth which takes less than 10minutes and entry was £13.50 for me - kids under 5 are free! Fab afternoon and a great trip down memory lane for me. . . We miss doing stuff like this when we are back in Dubai. . . #cardiff #cardiffcastle #visitcardiff #cadwcymru #discoverwales #discovercymru #visitwales #travelwales #traveltribe #thisismywales #travellingfamily #travelwithkids #familyadventures #familytravel #familyexplorers #exploreuk #exploringwales #cardiffwithkids #lovetotravel #lovewhereyoulive Reposted from @the_wandering_whites" via Instagram https://ift.tt/2Tg894H

Walking from home, up Drum, and back through Bwlch y Ddeufaen, we met this beautiful family of wild Carneddau ponies on Pen y Castell. We stood still to let them pass, and the stallion came over just to check us out. [Video description: video of a number of small chestnut and white ponies and foals on a heathery and rocky mountain top, on a sunny day. The stallion breaks off from the group and comes towards the camera, while the others pass by.] #VideoDescription #wales #cymru #Conwy #SnowdoniaNationalPark #snowdonia #eryri #ThisIsMyWales #WalksFromMyBackDoor #CarneddauPonies #ThisIsMyAdventure #FindYourEpic #KeepItWild #ChooseMountains #MountainsForTheMind #hiking #adventure #mountains #GetOutside #ukHikers #wanderlust #discoverearth #PeopleWhoAdventure #NotTheSafeRoute #snowdoniagram #PoniesOfInstagram #horses https://www.instagram.com/p/B_5_zN7J7Uw/?igshid=1qrvr1krkhzrj
