Llanover is a village and parish in Monmouthshire, located four miles south of Abergavenny just off the A4042 road to Pontypool.
History & Amenities
Llanover is associated with Lady Llanover who lived locally all her life and certainly left her mark on the village and the surrounding Llanover estate, still privately owned today. Her husband Sir Benjamin Hall became Baron Llanover.
The village church is dedicated to St. Bartholomew and is a grade II* listed building. [1]
The River Usk flows close by, and to the west lies the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal, a scenic recreational boating route.
