More info: Abergavenny, meaning Mouth of the River Gavenny, is a market town in Monmouthshire, Wales. It is located 15 miles (24 km) west of Monmouth on the A40 and A465 roads, 6 miles (10 km) from the English border within the Welsh Marches. 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: Skirrid Fawr, Ysgyryd Fach (Skirrid Fach), Deri, Rholben and Mynydd Llanwenarth, known locally as "Llanwenarth Breast." The town is situated just south of the Black Mountains, part of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
