Anything worth seeing in Abergavenny?
I really like going to random towns in the UK. No particular reason at all, just interesting to see the daily life in other places. My last Welsh place was Flint and I actually quite liked it - the castle is a cool little thing. I've got just over an hour to kill in Abergavenny…
