Winter is here in Monmouthshire. And it's time to get fired up about festive food, fun, and fantastic views. Cosy evenings by a roaring fire. Dark sky nights staring up at the stars. Glistening Christmas lights in our town centres and then beautiful winter walks through the Monmouthshire countryside.
Take in the clear starry skies in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, enjoy the crisp winter walks in the Wye Valley National Landscape, soak up the atmosphere at one of the many characterful events in our towns and villages, and eat and drink award-winning produce in beautiful surroundings for fabulous local flavour.
Get under the skin of 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 retail therapy 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 or 'croeso' (as we say in Wales) to Monmouthshire!
