Abergavenny is a market town in Monmouthshire, Wales. It is around 15 miles west of Monmouth on two dual carriageways, and six miles from the English border. Unsurprisingly, the town is known as the 'Gateway to Wales'. Situated at the confluence of a tributary stream, the Gavenny and also the River Usk, it is almost completely surrounded by two mountains, the Blorenge and the Sugar Loaf, and 5 hills. It offers a route towards the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park. The Offa's Dyke Path is nearby and the Marches Way, the Beacons Way and Usk Valley Walk all go through the town.
Historically the site of a Roman fort, Gobannium, it evolved into a mediaeval walled town inside the Welsh Marches. In line with the 2011 Census, the town features a permanent resident population of 10078. Within this population, about 10 per cent speak Welsh, seeming to have improved dramatically from the two per cent recorded in 1991. The town boasts the remains of a mediaeval stone castle built soon after the Noman conquest of Wales.
As a conventional market town, a wide variety of markets are held inside the Market Hall, such as a retail market, a farmers' market, an antique fair and a craft fair. The town was also host to the 2016 National Eisteddfod of Wales, a yearly celebration of the culture and language in Wales. It usually attracts more than 150000 guests and over 250 stalls each year.
