Historic Wye-side market town — castle, Shire Hall and the fortified Monnow Bridge.
Monmouth stands where the Monnow joins the Wye, and its Monnow Bridge — with a fortified gate tower still straddling the crossing — is the only medieval bridge of its kind left in Britain. The broad high street runs up to Agincourt Square and the castle where Henry V was born. Shire Hall and the old shopfronts make an easy afternoon’s wander.
