Usk Valley

The Vale of Usk covers Monmouthshire and Abergavenny where there are plenty of castles such as Caldicott

and Raglan as well as Goytre Wharf along the Brecon and Monmouth Canal. There are Welsh Heritage sites

including Blaenavon ironworks and the Big Pit National Coal Musuem which have an abundance of diverse

painting material. There is also some beautiful countryside in the Usk Valley with lakes, forests and panoramic

views around Abergavenny. In particular there are some cracking views of the Sugar Loaf Mountain & The

Brecon Beacons from Keepers Pond high up on a mountain pass between Abergavenny and Blaenavon on the

edge of the Brecon Beacons. There are also painting opportunities in Monmouth itself including the Monnow

Bridge.
