The B4521 Ross Road out of Abergavenny crosses the Afon Gafenni / Gavenny River by means of a stone arch bridge from the parapet of which can be seen the gushing waters of the river as they run over their rocky bed cut into the local Old Red Sandstone ('St Maughan's Formation' mudstones and sandstones). Abergavenny gets its (English!) name from its site at the point where this river enters the Afon Wysg / River Usk. The Welsh name is 'Y Fenni'.
