Bridge Caravan Park and Camping Site

The town and castle of Raglan are within five miles of the park, close to the county town of Monmouth and its Fair Trade shopping, markets, Savoy Theatre (probably the oldest in Wales) and access to canoe and kayaking trips along its waters, where the Monnow river meets the Wye. The medieval walled town of Abergavenny is about 20 minutes' drive away, to Monmouth's west. Hailed as a gateway to Wales, it provides access to the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park, and is passed through by the Marches Way, the Beacons Way and the Usk Valley Walk. Crickhowell, named after the Iron Age hill fort of Crug Hywel above the town, is within about half an hour's drive. Outdoor activities? Plenty are around, such as hiking and mountain biking in the Forest of Dean, or rafting and fishing on and in the Wye, both available within about 20 minutes by car. For a gentler outdoor time, have a canal boat day trip on the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, 17 miles away. Cardiff is just under an hour's drive away; if you can't be faffed with city parking, it's about an hour and a half by bus and train from local village Dingestow, changing an hour into the journey at Newport.
