The Great Outdoors
There are endless opportunities for you to enjoy the outdoors in the Vale of Usk or Wye Valley. With over 1,000 miles of public footpaths, you’re never far from a good walk and there are countless walking guides to lead you on the right path.
Anglers are spoilt for choice, with the Wye, the Usk, Llandegfedd reservoir, and all year round sea angling, whilst the Wye needs no introduction as one of the premier canoeing rivers in Britain.
Hire a bike and enjoy the freedom of a cycle ride through country lanes, or take to the saddle for a day's pony trekking in the Black Mountains. Explore the countryside from a different angle with sweeping views of rugged escarpments and untamed moorland.
Or maybe do something you’ve only ever dreamt about? Try a tandem paraglide or hang-gliding flight at Abergavenny, where on competition days you'll be able to see a myriad of coloured specks launch from the Blorenge mountain and land in Castle Meadows.
