Usk
is a small market town of 2300 people in South East Wales.  Its history goes back to the Romans and Normans.

It qualifies for entry as a large village in the Britain in Bloom and the Wales in Bloom competitions. 

The Usk in Bloom committee was formed in 1980 by a group of enthusiasts who wished to improve the environment of their town.
