• Self-catering in the Wye Valley

The Wye Valley is classified as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Adventurers can choose from such thrilling activities as caving, canoeing, paragliding, rock climbing and horse riding. For those who prefer more leisurely enjoyment there is canal cruising, golf, walking, cycling and fishing.

Monmouth is a historic town guarded by a 13th century gateway. Set at the confluence of the rivers Trothy,Wye and Monnow, narrow lanes set with Tudor and Georgian buildings characterise this attractive town. This is also the home of the Nelson Museum, an exhibition of the life of Lord Admiral Nelson. Other picturesque towns include Caerleon with its Roman Legionary Museum and the riverside town of Usk with its selection of antique and craft shops. The Medieval ruins of Raglan Castle are situated in the pretty Vale of Usk. The castle hosts falconry displays which are popular with visitors.

Monmouthshire may be peaceful now, but in Medieval times these lands were the site of many battles. Chepstow Castle and Caldicot Castle are magnificent stone reminders of these turbulent days and the excellent exhibitions at Chepstow Castle and the staged Civil War Battles at Caldicot Castle bring history to life.

Wales is famous for coal mining. The Big Pit at Blaenafon is a World Heritage Site. Find out what life was like deep underground with a trip to the mining galleries and see how the mine worked at the Fan House, Blacksmith's Forge, Stables and Winding Engine House.
