Usk and the Wye Valley

Usk is one of Monmouthshire’s prettiest towns, an award-winning floral spot on the river of the same name, with handsome streets and good places to eat. The historic town of Chepstow, with its mighty riverside castle, is a short drive away, as are the romantic ruins of Tintern Abbey, the River Wye and miles of rolling countryside.
