Wye Valley
The Wye Valley has a host of Spa Hotels and beautiful countryside walks and the most castles per square miles in the UK!
Abergavenny is a beautiful little market town that offers its visitors a glimpse into the laid back lifestyle of Wales, where you can experience some of the best local produce in Britain. Home to the Abergavenny Food festival, this little town in Wales won’t disappoint!
There are hundreds of events and festivals happening all over the Wye Valley throughout the year, including The Hay Literary Festival, The Royal Welsh Show, Chepstow Races and hundreds more! You won’t be short of things to do whilst on holiday.
Although famous for its food, history and culture, it offers the UK city breaker something as well. The City of Newport (Wales) offers its visitors a city experience and with the capital city of Cardiff on the doorstep, this is the perfect location for that weekend break or UK getaway!
Looking for places to visit and things to do with the kids? Then look no further - with castles and attractions dotted throughout the Wye Valley this is a fantastic place for that UK family holiday.
