Abergavenny, in Monmouthshire, had a population of around 15,000 at the 2021 census — long known as the 'Gateway to Wales', with a castle that has a notably dark history.
A gateway town with a dark castle history
Abergavenny has long been known as the 'Gateway to Wales', sitting where the lowlands meet the Brecon Beacons. Its castle was the site of a notorious Christmas Day in 1175, when the Norman lord William de Braose invited local Welsh noblemen to a feast and had them killed, an event still remembered in the town's history today.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Abergavenny's castle history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Abergavenny shoppers order online anyway
