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.
If you fancy a break from the hustle and bustle of the town, you can escape with a trek up Kymin Hill. Conquering the hill offers an exciting challenge that is well worth your time, with stunning views of Monmouth town and a charming 18th-century Naval Temple at the top.
Best Time to Visit Monmouth
To make the most of Monmouth's beautiful natural surroundings, it might be best to consider visiting when the Welsh weather is at its best.
