1. Give in to gluttony in Abergavenny
Why go? A quaint market town on the border with England, Abergavenny has made the headlines over the centuries for a variety of reasons. Its much-lauded annual food festival takes the cake these days, and the raucous celebration of all things culinary (which takes place every August) has become one of the must-attend events in all of Wales. The town’s castle and museum are also worth a look, although watch out for the ghost chicken that may or may not haunt the latter.
