VISIT WALES VAQAS

Blaenavon

The ‘stay local’ regulations have been lifted in Wales, allowing people from across Wales to visit Monmouthshire and stay in self contained accommodation (including hotels with en-suites & room service). Most non-essential businesses are still closed, so please check before you visit.

If Covid cases remain low, visitors from England will hopefully be allowed on April 12th, as well as non-essential retail being allowed to open. Outdoor hospitality will then be allowed to open from April 26th.

Please check the latest Welsh Government guidance here : https://gov.wales/coronavirus

Stay safe, and look out for businesses with the ‘We’re Good to Go’ industry kite mark for assurance that the business is following government and industry COVID-19 guidelines, ensuring processes are in place to maintain cleanliness and aid physical distancing.
