The Vale of Usk covers Monmouthshire and Abergavenny where there are plenty of castles such as Caldicott and Raglan as
well as Goytre Wharf along the Brecon and Monmouth Canal. There are Welsh Heritage sites such as Blaenavon ironworks
and the Big Pit National Coal Musuem which have an abundance of diverse painting material. There is also some beautiful
countryside in the Usk Valley with lakes, forests and panoramic views around Abergavenny. In particular there are some
cracking views of the Sugar Loaf Mountain & The Brecon Beacons from Keepers Pond high up on a mountain pass between
Abergavenny and Blaenavon on the edge of the Brecon Beacons. There are also painting opportunities in Monmouth itself
including the Monnow Bridge.
