About

Park ward encompasses the western edge of Abergavenny, situated at the foot of the Blorenge mountain within the Brecon Beacons National Park. The area is primarily residential, with housing spread across its lower slopes. Its position provides direct access to open moorland and upland walking trails directly from the town.

A defining feature is the Park Wood, a large, mixed woodland managed by the Woodland Trust that borders the community. The area includes local amenities such as a primary school and recreational grounds. The landscape is characterised by its transition from urban settlement to the protected upland commons of the Blorenge.
