Drybridge

Drybridge ward sits on the western edge of Monmouth town, characterised by residential streets and a mix of housing types. The area includes local amenities such as a primary school and community centre, serving its population. Its layout follows the gentle slope of the land towards the River Monnow, with several green spaces and playing fields integrated into the neighbourhood. The ward functions largely as a residential suburb for the wider town.

The ward's name historically references a stone bridge over the now-culverted Drybrook. Monmouthshire's County Council offices and the main campus of Monmouthshire College are located within its boundaries, contributing to daily activity. Transport links are defined by the A40 road which skirts the southern edge, connecting to the wider region. The area maintains a distinct separation from the historic town centre by its topography and the route of this major road.
