Usk tourist information

is a pretty small town in the heart of Monmouthshire, known for its historic buildings and floral displays.

Set on the river of the same name, Usk has also an attractive old stone bridge and waterside walks, as well as individual shops, quaint pubs, cafes and tea rooms. This peaceful and quiet town is well-kept and has a reputation for friendliness.

The beautiful, ivy covered, romantic ruins of medieval Usk castle are open to the public and now are a spellbinding visitor attraction. For even more castles journey north to magnificent Raglan Castle and the other wonderful historic sites in northern Monmouthshire.

The fascinating Usk Rural Life Museum shows how life would have been lived in the agricultural communities in Monmouthshire in the 19th and early 20th centuries, both in the fields and in the farmhouse.
