Abergavenny, local knowledge needed.

Hi Folks,

I will be travelling on the A40 east through Abergavenny to the CC site at Brecon.

My question is, is it wise to travel through Abergavenny on the A40 or by-pass the town using the A465 and then cut north back on the A40.

Sorry, should be FROM the east!!!

I am assuming you are coming from the M50, A449, A40 and when you get to the roundabout where the A40 meets the A465, go onto the A465(heads of the valleys Rd)and get off at the first left turn sign posted Neville Hall Hospital. You then pick up the A40 to Brecon. I satyed at Brynich in April and I am booked in again for a week in July.

when we have been to brecon we always go through abergavenny the other way that by passes the town is not much different . the town is not too bad. follow the directions and you wont go wrong . most people we spoke to at brynich came the same way.

Have a look on Google maps. I have been both ways and taking the A40 down Monmouth Rd takes you through the town centre. Great with a caravan on the back. In my opinion its alot easier and quicker to go down the A465 and take the A4143 but its entirely your choice.

By the way, the ride on the canal barge from the basin in Brecon is a great way to while away a couple of hours. The barge is called " Dragon Fly" as is owned by my cousin.
