GeogOnline - A40 to Raglan
Click to Return
The A40 east from Abergavenny is  a dual carriageway and this links to the A449 dual carriageway at Raglan which links south to the M4. Or you can continue east to the M50 and thence to the M5 Midlands link. The roads are quiet and so average speeds can be high suiting distribution, commuters and sales representatatives. Proximityand not accessibilityis the issue. The view shows the approach to Abergavenny from the east and the Sugar Loaf mountain as the gateway to the Black Mountains can be seen towering over Abergavenny.
Raglan is the only settlement of any size and has  a key geographically advantageous location  at a major road junction. It is likely to grow rapidly over the next few years as the A449 gives ready commuting access to Newport and the M4 corridor.
