The Abergavenny area is also well known for its inns and restaurants.
There is a wide range of eating-houses of exceptional quality and diversity,
including one of the UK's leading gastro pubs, The Foxhunter, at Nantyderry,
and, close to us all in the Black Mountains, The
Crown
at Pantygelli. So good food is not hard to find.
