The Hill Gardens, Abergavenny
This is the Late Georgian walled garden created by John Wedgwood around 1830. Wedgwood was part of the ceramics dynasty, a renowned horticulturist, acquaintance of Darwin and founding member of the Royal Horticultural Society.
Not open to the public at present, it is contained within an estate including gated housing, woodland and converted college buildings.

Overlooking Abergavenny
From the minor road between Blorenge and Gilwern Hill at Pwll-du looking north-east. The whole town is in view and beyond it the distinctive ridge of The Skirrid (Ysgyryd Fawr). Just to the left of the town is the dome-shaped ridge of Twyn-yr-allt, which leads up to the Sugar Loaf, which is just out of shot on the left. Below is the Usk valley.

No public right of way from the SE side of Deri Road, Abergavenny
The sign is alongside a gate at the edge of Deri Road. There was no path or track discernible in this early December view. A summer view would have shown much more vegetation here, so the sign is achieving its objective by deterring would-be walkers thus allowing nature to obliterate any trace of a path.

Roadside stones, Deri Road, Abergavenny
Presumably the purpose of the stones enclosed in metal meshing is to prevent the bank collapsing across the roadway.

An entrance to the former Coleg Gwent The Hill campus
Viewed from Pen-y-pound. The Hill Education and Conference Centre was sold by Coleg Gwennt in 2009. A purchaser had planned to set up a ballet school here, but the plan was abandoned in 2011.
A group named CASH (Community Action to Save The Hill) has been set up with the aim of securing a sympathetic buyer for the site, especially one who would ensure its continuance as an educational site.
