Drop into the weekend art and crafts market in Crickhowell’s imposing former town hall and admire the town’s splendid 18th-century stone bridge across the beautiful River Usk. Join the towpath along the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal, just outside the town, for a peaceful walk or cycle ride. Visit spectacular Tretower Court (3 miles), a magnificent medieval castle and restored court, with its great hall prepared for a feast. Bustling Abergavenny is renowned for great places to eat, and you can sample fine Welsh wines at a vineyard on the lower slopes of the landmark Sugar Loaf Mountain above the town.
