More on Usk
Description from Wikipedia:
Usk (Brynbuga) is a small town in Monmouthshire, Wales, situated 10 miles northeast of Newport.
Usk is noted for its rural setting, tranquil lifestyle and quality of life. It feels more like a village than a town. The River Usk flows through the town and is spanned by an ancient, arched stone bridge at the western entrance to the town. A castle above the town overlooks the ancient Anglo-Welsh border crossing - the river can usually be crossed on foot in summer even today. Usk won the Large Village award in the 2005 Britain in Bloom awards .
