You are here: Inspire me > About Monmouthshire
Visitors come to Monmouthshire to experience its fascinating heritage and culture, its spectacular landscapes, its people, its food, its language – all the things that make it distinctive. Monmouthshire is the epitome of rurality – small market towns (Abergavenny, Monmouth, Caldicot, Chepstow & Usk) and a rich tapestry of agricultural land dotted with villages.
The county has a growing reputation as a culinary hotspot. Indeed, Monmouthshire is the only county in Wales to have been given the title of Top Food Tourism Destination at the ‘Wales The True Taste Awards’.
The natural environment is one of Monmouthshire’s primary assets, from its highest point at Chwarel y Fan to the extensive coastal lowlands on the Caldicot Levels. There are approximately 5198 foot paths covering 2196.5km which encourage walkers, cyclists and horse-riders.
