Autumn is here in Monmouthshire. And it's time to get fired up about food, fun, and fantastic views. It's the start of cosy evenings by a roaring fire. Dark sky nights staring up at the stars. And the trees turning beautiful shades of gold and orange.
September is a month of food with the world renowned Abergavenny Food Festival on the weekend of the 20th / 21st September. And this year they're joined by the brand new festival of fire and folklore, Mabon, at Caldicot Castle on the 26th - 28th September.
Stage 5 of the Lloyds Tour of Britain Men's race passes through Monmouthshire on Saturday 6th September and finishes on the legendary Tumble, so why not get out an emulate the cyclists with fantastic rides across the county?
Take in the clear starry skies in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, enjoy the autumn colours 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!
