The scenery round about is lovely; it reminded me of trips to Dartmoor when I was a child. I had the unpleasantness of it raining for many, many hours on my way to Abergavenny and through my night there.

We've been visiting Abergavenny for years and it's always been a warm, friendly place. Sadly some of the big retailers have moved on, but there are still the very useful mountain/outdoor shops you need, plus major supermarkets, and a new generation of independent retailers too. More eateries have sprung up, including some very indulgent patisserie shops! The castle is well worth visiting, and there are some self-guided local walks you can find in leaflets that will help you find your way round the town to enjoy its many green spaces. Linda Vista Garden is beautiful and well worth visiting, especially for the brilliant Ambika Social cafe in its grounds - amazing coffee! Ambika is open Thurs - Sun, and also on Bank Holiday Mondays. The theatre offers a varied programme, and you can usually find a tribute show or two on offer. Aber is in easy reach of the Brecon Beacons, and Big Pit (Blaenavon) is close by too and well worth visiting.

A lovely traditional market town, with a pedestrianised high street. A wide variety of independent shops with a good selection . Abergavenny is surrounded by gentle hills that are just inviting you to climb up as a family or individual. The autumn colours were glorious. You can also walk along the river. Whilst a small town it boasts a theatre, a cinema and a large covered market so there’s plenty to do as well as enjoy nature. It is very well connected by train and a mere 25mins from Newport from where you can go just about anywhere. Only 2h20 to London . Will definitely go again and spend more time .

Beautiful spot and cottage was styled lovely and very comfortable. Was a great base for what we wanted to do and host Alison was always there to help. Would certainly recommend it to family and friends.

It is a nice place, but don't factor in to long for meandering through a little town center for artisan shops - it doesn't take too long to do. Good options for food....and absolutely encourage anyone to go to the food festival when it is on. Lovely area.

Loved the pub by the train station, the gentlemen there were kind and helpful on a rainy night when the local taxis were too busy to help out of town visitors. Loved the Lamb and Flag Inn and Restaurant which had very good service and delicious food. My room there was extremely comfortable. The WiFi was good, the view was lovely, and the bed was just right. I was very surprised to see that there is a charging station for electric cars in the parking lot which will be a real blessing to anyone who drives those vehicles. Abergavenny has some of the nicest people! Because the taxis were so disappointing I was left accepting the kindness of strangers and a fellow train passenger made sure I was comfortable at the pub while she walked home, got her car, and drove me to my hotel! She stayed and ate dinner with me and we laughed and visited like old friends. In the morning I got a taxi but the driver didn't listen when I said arthritis keeps me from walking well but I did want to see some of the town on the way back to the train station - she dropped me in the middle of town assuring me it would be a short walk to the station. Nearly two miles of pulling my luggage across cobblestones I discovered yet another wonderful woman in Abergavenny! She saw me struggling and pulled her car out, loaded me and my luggage into it and drove me the rest of the way to the train station! People are still willing to go out of their way to help others and Abergavenny has a goodly supply of such people. Oh, and the folks at the Greyhound Rescue thrift store are delightful! I drooled over the selection in the window of the hat shop, and I would have loved to visit with even more of the adorable dogs so many walkers had with them. It is a great town.
