Welcome to September in Monmouthshire

Welcome to September! The summer may be nearly over but there's still plenty to do in Monmouthshire, with great events throughout the month.

Highlights include Cadw's 'Open Doors', allowing you unprecedented free access to historic buildings; the Usk Show - one of the biggest 1-day agricultural shows; and the Abergavenny Food Festival, returning for a fantastic weekend of foodie fun (21st - 22nd). Then at the end of the month the UKs best archers will be gathering at Caldicot Castle & Country Park for the Archery GB national tour finals, a fantastic (& free!) chance to see the country's best and even have a go yourself.

And our accommodation is top-notch, from luxury hotels, well-equipped self-catering accommodation and converted barns to boutique glamping sites.

It's not just the stunning landscape that will take your breath away. So too will the majestic castles, dark starry skies, mountain climbs and 360 degree views. Make sure to try out one of our short or long distance walks to see them for yourself, or join Monmouthshire Countryside for one of their free guided walks.
