This 13th century Norman Castle is set in a beautiful riverside location. It's managed by the National Trust and has free parking and free entry. It's also a good starting point for exploring the area.

Great viewpoint for the river Wye and Goodrich Castle.

The Kymin is an 18th-century round house and naval temple on a prominent hill, set within 9 acres (4 ha) of grounds. It's a fair slog from Monmouth but you are rewarded with wonderful views over the Wye Valley and the town below as you climb. Once you reach the top, the views are breathtaking and there are benches to stop and soak it all in. Absolute bliss. The site is owned by the National Trust.

A temple that was inspired by Britain’s naval supremacy at the height of the British Empire and built in 1800. This was inspired by Nelson's victory in the Battle of the Nile in 1798. Nelson came to see it in 1802 with Lady Hamilton and her husband Sir William. That must have been an interesting weekend!

Naval Temple

Interesting C13th castle. Beautiful setting by river. Well worth a visit. Free parking. I used it as a starting point.

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.

Skenfrith is a Norman castle redeveloped by a later owner in 1219. It's a National Trust property with free entry.
