Abergavenny named one of UK’s Top 10 Country Towns.
Abergavenny has been named one of Britain’s Top 10 Country towns in Period Living & Traditional Homes magazine’s Best of British Awards 2004-2005.
Over 200,000 readers of this market-leading title were asked to nominate the aspects of traditional British life that they love best.
Well its nice that somebody noticed!
Period Living & Traditional Homes Editor Sharon Parsons was inspired to run the Awards after extolling the virtues of Britain to a couple of American tourists on a train journey. ‘The thing is, I love this country. I know we all have a moan about everything from politics to public transport, but I think there are many wonderful aspects to be celebrated that supersede all that …’
This won’t come as a surprise to the many people who love the town, and indeed the award really goes to the community and voluntary groups, and the Town Council who work so hard to make Abergavenny a better place to live and work.
