Approaching Abergavenny from the south
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
Today we're going to Abergavenny, in Welsh it is Y Fenni, meaning Mouth of the River Gavenny, it’s a market town in Monmouthshire, Wales. Market day is Tuesday, then the town gets very busy.
Abergavenny is 15 miles (24 km) west of Monmouth 6 miles (10 km) from the English border. Originally the site of a Roman fort, Gobannium, it became a medieval walled town within the Welsh Marches. The town contains the remains of a medieval stone castle built soon after the Norman conquest of Wales.
Abergavenny is considered to be the "Gateway to Wales". Situated at the confluence of a tributary stream, the Gavenny, and the River Usk, it is almost surrounded by two mountains – the Blorenge (559 m and the Sugar Loaf (596 m) and five hills: Ysgyryd Fawr (The Skirrid), Ysgyryd Fach (Skirrid Fach), Deri, Rholben and Mynydd Llanwenarth, known locally as "Llanwenarth Breast". It provides access to the nearby Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park. The Offa's Dyke Path is close by and the Marches Way, the Beacons Way and Usk Valley Walk all pass through the town.
