Winter in Monmouthshire is a time to experience spectacular cloud inversions as the cold air close to the ground in the Usk and Wye valleys gets trapped beneath a layer of warmer air above during the longer winter nights. While it may look cold (and spoiler alert, it sometimes rains here) there'll always be a warm welcome waiting for you. Take a look at our favourite winter walks for inspiration. Once you've worked up an appetite check out our award winning restaurants on our food & drink section.
This December in Monmouthshire is full of Christmassy fun, with a packed programme of festive events to enjoy, culminating in the highlight of the Welsh racing calendar, the Coral Welsh Grand National at Chepstow Racecourse.
To find unique gifts sold by passionate local independent retailers and artisan makers visit one of our Christmas markets, fayres or late night shopping events. Or maybe go direct to our award-winning local producers and sample some gin, cheese, preserves, cider, wine & more.
On the border with England, and at the crossroads between the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Brecon Beacons National Park and the low-lying cultural landscape of the Gwent Levels, welcome to Wales' food capital!
