We love autumn in Monmouthshire. The beautiful golds and oranges of the leaves on the trees. Cosy evenings by a roaring country fire. Dark sky nights staring up at the stars. With a growing reputation for award-winning food and drink, it's a fantastic base to explore the Wye Valley (birthplace of British tourism) and Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.
Plus there's still a great variety of events to enjoy across Monmouthshire, including the internationally renowned Abergavenny Food Festival and the excitement of Halloween and Bonfire Night.
Come rain or shine, there are lots of great things to do in Monmouthshire at this time of year. Like walking the Wales Coast Path, cycling up The Tumble, or stand up paddle boarding and windsurfing on Llandegfedd Lake. You can take advantage of being in the Food Capital of Wales with wine tasting at a Decanter World Wine award-winning vineyard, wild foraging on the Severn estuary or enjoying a meal at a Michelin starred restaurant. Plus there’s forest bathing overlooking the Wye Valley, visiting one of Monmouthshire’s 9 castles, enjoying some shopping in the market towns of Abergavenny, Chepstow and Monmouth or exploring an iconic ruin which inspired Turner and Wordsworth.
On the border with England, and at the crossroads between the Wye Valley National Landscape, Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park and the low-lying cultural landscape of the Gwent Levels, welcome to Monmouthshire!
