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

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.

Once an important border castle, and birthplace of Henry V of England. In 1647 the site was reused and built over by Great Castle House, which has since become the headquarters and regimental museum of the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers.

Spectacular views scary road to drive up
