Village with ‘untapped’ potential

A VILLAGE in the heart of the Gwent Levels could capitalise on its “untapped” potential, according to a new plan being developed.

- TWM OWEN

The regeneration strategy for Magor and neighbouring Undy highlights their location on the Levels - an area of land reclaimed from the sea by the Romans, stretching from Cardiff’s outskirts to Chepstow.

The plan suggests that the village should leverage its location to draw visitors to the protected historic landscape's attractions, including man-made drainage reens, a ship discovered buried in mud near the seawall and the remains of the 14th-century Procurator’s House.

Originally built as the residence of an ecclesiastical official, it is believed to be one of the oldest in Wales and England.

This proposal is part of the placemaking plan expected to be adopted by Monmouthshire County Council for Magor and Undy, developed in collaboration with the local community council and including public consultation.

Similar placemaking plans are also set to be adopted for Abergavenny and Monmouth.
