The Usk Valley
Usk - a jewel in the crown
Located in the heart of the Usk Valley, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, life at Burrium Gate couldn't be more peaceful. The Usk Valley, of which the upper half is in the Brecon Beacons National Park, has breathtaking scenery, excellent fishing waters and adventurous walks.
The River Usk has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and has been rated as the best fly fishing water in Wales for salmon and trout. Some decades ago the otter was nearing extinction in Britain but the Usk Valley is now a focus for its survival and this beautiful mammal can be seen throughout the length of the river.
The river meanders through the historic town of Usk (Welsh: Brynbuga) and is spanned by an ancient arched stone bridge at the western entrance to the town. Usk is noted for its rural setting, tranquil lifestyle and quality of life. The town is also known for its pubs, restaurants and antique shops. The narrow main street has some premises dating back to the 15th century and passes through a large town square.
Usk is situated on the site of Burrium, a legionary Roman fortress built in about AD55 as a base for the conquest of South Wales, the remains of which are buried on the southern side of the town. Our development, Burrium Gate, was named in recognition of this.
Usk is a very lively and friendly town with over 70 clubs, associations and other organisations catering for a wide range of interests. These include cricket, soccer, rugby, tennis, fishing, gliding, gardening, local and natural history, the environment, heritage, art, drama, music and dance as well as local charities and social groups e.g. Women's Institute, Farmers Club, Rotary Club, Girl Guides and Boy Scouts. The town has a weekly Country Market, fortnightly Farmer's Market and annual Agricultural Show and Game Fair as well as many other special events.
Usk has been described as the 'Jewel in the crown of the county of Monmouthshire'. a description which fits it well - a town of peace and calm, clothed in floral displays to delight the eye, where people care about their surroundings and wish to preserve the landscape in which it lies, conserving all those magic green places for future generations.
