Friends of Castle Meadows
Castle Meadows is an area of traditional floodplain meadow between the town of Abergavenny and the River Usk. The Friends of Castle Meadows are a volunteer group who work with the local council with the aims:
– to increase, restore and enhance the bio-diversity of the Meadows;
– to support and enable access to the green space;
– to develop the Meadows as an educational and recreational opportunity for all;
– to support and enable walking and cycling routes across the green space.
We hope that this website will encourage you to enjoy the Meadows and help us to support them.
Visit the Meadows
The main access to Castle Meadows is from the Byfield Lane Car Park (blue placemark on map); other entrances from public roads are at Llanfoist Bridge, Castle Street and Mill Street (orange placemarks).
The main paths around the meadows are surfaced, but remember you are walking on the floodplain of a mountain river so parts may be muddy or even under water at times. You can check the current river level.
