The Town of Usk.   Nestling amongst the gentler Monmouthshire hills, along the banks of the river Usk, the town has many historic features including a ruined castle dating back to Norman times. Many of the narrow streets have cobbled pavements and a varied array of buildings, some dating back to the seventeenth century. Whilst no longer a market town, Usk has a variety of individual shops, particularly antique, floral and clothing outlets. Popular with tourists, the town has a large number of delightful pubs, hotels and restaurants all offering a wide range of cuisine to suit every taste.

In the middle of the town is Twyn Square, with a Victorian clock as its centre piece. Usk is already widely known for its floral displays which have won awards in Wales, Britain and Europe over the last 18 years, and add to the picturesque quality of the town.
