Summer (or Haf in Welsh) is the warmest season with long days and blue skies as far as the eye can see. It's the perfect time to get out and about in Monmouthshire, and we have over 60 great circular walks to make the most of the weather. A good walk deserves a good meal, so check out our award winning restaurants on our food & drink section. After all this, enjoy a great night's sleep under the stars at one of our glamping sites across Monmouthshire.
Summer is also a great time for events, with festivals, open gardens, horse racing, re-enactments, country shows & much more to enjoy (including the outdoor theatre at Abergavenny Castle). You'll find great events throughout the summer holidays such as the Green Gathering & Castell Roc festivals in Chepstow, beautiful displays at Usk Open Gardens, medieval reenactments at Tintern, the South Wales Shire horse show in Abergavenny, a Bee festival in Monmouth and much more.
On the border with England, and at the crossroads between the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Brecon Beacons National Park and the low-lying cultural landscape of the Gwent Levels, welcome to Wales' food capital!
