Newport / Usk
Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel & Spa
Local Attractions
The beautiful Wye Valley and Vale of Usk have the most castles per square mile in Britain. Taking its name from the river which runs through the town, the town of Usk has an enviable reputation for its summer floral display and for its salmon fishing!
But behind the hanging baskets and window boxes you will find antique and craft shops and numerous pubs, hotels, cafes and restaurants. Stay awhile and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of this pretty little town!
The largest fort in Roman Britain was built here between 55 AD and 66 AD. Called 'Burrium', it had a garrison of 10,000, five times the population of modern Usk. Ruins of the fort have been found in recent years beneath the town's streets.
Usk Castle, built by the Normans in the 11th century, later became a Royal Castle, and was given to Catherine Parr (Henry VIII's sixth wife), by the King.
Britains most varied and historic Roman site, Caerleon, is also within a 10 minute drive of the hotel and there are a plethora of local towns to explore including Abergavenny, one of Wales' oldest market towns.
