We're very excited to welcome Welsh residents back to Monmouthshire

The ‘stay local’ regulations have been lifted in Wales, allowing people from across Wales to visit Monmouthshire and stay in self contained accommodation (including hotels with en-suites & room service). Most non-essential businesses are still closed, but car parks are mostly open and take-out refreshments are available in many places. Please check what's open before you visit.

If Covid cases remain low, we'll hopefully be able to welcome English visitors from April 12th, as well as non-essential retail being allowed to open. Outdoor hospitality will be able to open on April 26th. 

Please check the latest Welsh Government guidance here : https://gov.wales/coronavirus

Stay safe, and look out for businesses with the ‘We’re Good to Go’ industry kite mark for assurance that the business is following government and industry COVID-19 guidelines, ensuring processes are in place to maintain cleanliness and aid physical distancing.

In the meantime, follow us on social media where we'll be sharing stories of award-winning food and drink from the food capital of Wales, nestled between the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

On this page you'll find a selection of virtual experiences and inspiration, including links to gift vouchers for afternoon tea, jam making, vineyard tours and bespoke perfume creation experiences to help you plan your future visit. 

If you're planning to stay in Monmouthshire before outdoor hospitality reopens, take a look at the takeaway food and drink and local delivery services options. Many of these businesses also offer delivery across the UK so you can enjoy the flavours of Monmouthshire wherever you live.

Walking is good for our physical and mental wellbeing at any time of year but especially so at the moment. If you live in Monmouthshire try our walking route search function to find short and circular walking routes starting / finishing from your home. Just enter a town or postcode for a list of walks starting and finishing there.

We're excited to welcome Welsh residents back to Monmouthshire now and look forward to welcoming our English residents back as soon as possible.
