Summary Description

Abergavenny is a town of strategic importance situated where the River Usk flows out of its narrow valley on the wider flood plain. The Romans recognised this and built a fort followed by a Norman castle. Henry VIII found a grammar school, now a comprehensive school and the central area provides shopping facility for north west Gwent and the upper Usk valley. Reference The Encyclopaedia of Wales
