We love summer in Monmouthshire. Warmer and longer days are finally here and with them lots of great opportunities to make memories in this glorious Welsh borderand over the coming months. With a growing reputation for award-winning food and drink, it's a fantastic base to explore the Wye Valley (birthplace of British tourism) and Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.
Come rain or shine, there are lots of great things to do in Monmouthshire at this time of year. Like walking the Wales Coast Path, cycling up The Tumble, or stand up paddle boarding and windsurfing on Llandegfedd Lake. You can take advantage of being in 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 shopping in the market towns of Abergavenny, Chepstow and Monmouth or exploring an iconic ruin which inspired Turner and Wordsworth.
There's also a packed calendar of events to enjoy this summer in Monmouthshire at iconic locations such as Tintern Abbey, Chepstow Racecourse and Caldicot Castle. From live music and outdoor theatre, to guided walks, agricultural shows and festivals, plus some amazing gardens to visit (including the RHS partner garden at Nant-y-Bedd and the underground grottoes at Dewstow) there are endless possibilities.
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 to Monmouthshire!
