Monmouth Leisure

Monmouthshire, on the border of Wales, is a beautiful and varied area which attracts walkers from all over Europe, a land boasting truly magnificent scenery and a wealth of historic treasures - jewels such as world famous Tintern Abbey and the time-ravaged castles of the Welsh borderlands.

Wales and England meet here. 'Croeso i Gymru' means 'Welcome to Wales' - a greeting you'll see on road signs as you approach from England. A mixture of both Welsh and English influences are also evident in the historic towns of Chepstow, Monmouth, Abergavenny, Usk, Caldicot, and Newport (Wales's 'newest' city).

The Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Brecon Beacons National Park are protected, special areas of countryside with unique, stunning landscapes. They offer endless opportunities for outdoor pursuits - walking, fishing, canal-cruising, golf, cycling, canoeing, gliding.

Horse Riding

A superb way to see the beautiful Monmouthshire countryside. Amble along at a gentle pace taking in the splendour of your surroundings.

Golf

Monmouthshire golf is, according to its local courses, as good as it gets. Monmouthshire boasts a variety of 9 and 18 holes courses to suit all abilities and challenge both the accomplished player and the novice.

Walking

Discover breathtaking landscapes, enjoy superb walking, explore vibrant places, or learn new skills to explore the beautiful countryside.

Cycling
