A bakery in Monmouthshire has been named one of the best in the UK.
The Angel Bakery in Abergavenny was named among the top 49 best bakeries in the UK by The Times.
The Times' list was compiled by local foodies who revealed their favourite places for "artisan bread, perfect pastries and sweet treats galore".
The Times said: "Say no to rubbish bread and dry, dull pastries — the bakeries below are some of the best in the country, specialising in heritage grains, artisan loaves and buns so delicious food lovers queue for them."
Guests can expect to find an array of delicious daily baked goods including handmade long-fermented sourdough breads and pastries using flour from British mills.
At the bakery you will also find takeaway coffee, sandwiches and stocks of food and drink from cheese to smoked fish, organic fruit to natural wine.
The Angel Bakery and their General store, located opposite The Angel Hotel on Cross Street, are open Tuesday-Saturday from 9am to 4pm.
Wholesale deliveries are available from the bakery to Monmouthshire, Bristol, Newport and Cardiff.
Pettegrew Bakery and Ground Bakery, both located in Cardiff, were also named among the top 49 best bakeries in the UK.
The South Wales bakeries were reviewed by the owner of Heist Chocolate, Cardiff, Mikey Lewis.
Mr Lewis said the South Wales bakeries on the list offered up some of the best coffee, pastries and breakfasts he had ever had.
