Monmouth holds a rare claim to fame, being home to the last-standing fortified medieval bridge in the UK. Throughout history, Monnow Bridge has worn many hats, primarily guarding the town against unwanted visitors but has also served as a jail, lodge and toll gate.
Another must-see attraction has to be the historic ruins of where King Henry V was born, Monmouth Castle. Conveniently tucked behind Monmouth’s main shopping street, a fascinating trip to the castle can be followed by a leisurely spending spree on Monnow Street.
Another popular stop on the Monmouth sightseeing tour is the statue of the founder of Rolls Royce, Charles Rolls. These days, Charles is most commonly associated with luxury cars, but his real passion was flying and his statue commemorates his achievement of being the first person to fly both ways across the English Channel without stopping.
Catch a movie at the oldest known theatre site in Wales, the Savoy Theatre. The stunning surroundings of the grade 2 listed building will transport you back in time while you enjoy the latest feature films, live entertainment and special cinema events.
Relax and unwind while enjoying the fruits of the local Monmouth vineyards at Ancre Hill Estates Winery. The Estate uses traditional practices to produce their varieties of still and sparkling white, red, rosé and orange wines, all of which are biodynamic and organic.
