Visit Monmouthshire ¦ Places to visit, where to stay, what's on & things to do in South East Wales

We want to make it as easy and safe as possible for you to visit the places you love, and to enjoy the landscapes and nature you've been missing.

To help keep everyone safe, please follow social distancing and government guidance when you visit. Our businesses and attractions have been working hard to prepare for reopening. Look out for the 'We're Good to Go' tourism and hospitality industry kite mark for reassurance that the business is following government and industry COVID-19 guidelines, ensuring processes are in place to maintain cleanliness and physical distancing.

Please bear with us as not everything will be open from day one. We ask you to take a look at our Plan Your Visit page before you set off and to check that the things you want to see and do are open and where facilities like toilets are available. For many places, advance booking may also be required. Lockdown restrictions are in the process of being lifted. All types of accommodation can now open and you can visit many of our pubs, restaurants and cafes inside. Enjoy 50% off the cost of your meals (up to £10) throughout August (Monday - Wednesday) as part of the 'Eat Out to Help Out' scheme. Here is a list of the Monmouthshire eateries taking part. Indoor play areas, swimming pools, leisure centres, indoor fitness centres and gyms are preparing for re-opening, and events are under consideration.

The coronavirus pandemic, following shortly after February’s severe floods, has hit the county’s tourism, hospitality, service and retail sectors severely so please support our local businesses wherever possible. If you're planning a visit to one of our high streets have a look at the information for shoppers, which includes FAQs and details of changes to town centre layouts to facilitate social distancing. Our local markets in Abergavenny, Caldicot, Chepstow, Monmouth and Usk have also reopened. They offer a wide choice of food, drink, produce and crafts, often from local enterprises. Details of takeaway food and delivery services available locally are also available here.

Please don't visit if you’re showing any of the symptoms of coronavirus, or if you've been in contact with anyone that has the virus in the last 14 days.
