The main south Wales to the Midlands road link, the A449, passes close to the village.

A landlord of the pub in the 1930s was Frank Wake who catered nearly always for the farm labourers and not the gentry so it became a 'thorn in the flesh' of the Raglan family.

The nearby Llandenny railway station building (photographed) existed for many years until it was converted into a residential property.

It included a ground frame signal box on the platform, a cattle dock and small goods sidings.

It stood on the Coleford, Monmouth, Usk and Pontypool Railway line and closed in 1959.
