The charming town of Usk, on the banks of its namesake river, is a delightful place to visit. The early 12th-century Usk Castle is worth a visit, while the town’s floral displays are legendary — it has won the Wales in Bloom competition 37 times in a row!

It is an important stop on the 48-mile (77 km) Usk Valley Walk between Caerleon and Brecon. There are a number of inns and guesthouses in the town, as well as places to eat and drink.
