Nestled in the lower reaches of the scenic Wye Valley is the historic county town of Monmouthshire. It is a popular choice as a base for exploring all the superb landscape has to offer.

Notable landmarks in the town include its medieval stone gated bridge, the last of its kind left in Britain, and Monmouth Castle, the birthplace of King Henry V in 1386.

The 300-year old Shire Hall, on Agincourt Square in the centre of Monmouth, has outside a large sculpture of King Henry V (also called Henry of Monmouth) and a statue of the aviation pioneer Charles Rolls who lived near Monmouth. Rolls also co-founded the Rolls-Royce car manufacturing firm.
