Monmouth & Wyesham

About

Monmouth & Wyesham sits at the confluence of the Rivers Wye and Monnow, a historic border market town defined by its waterways. The Norman Monnow Bridge with its unique fortified gatehouse stands at the town's entrance, while the remains of Monmouth Castle overlook the streets. The area functions as a central hub for the surrounding rural communities.

The landscape rises sharply from the river valleys, with Wyesham positioned on the hillside to the north, offering views back over the town centre. Local life centres on the traditional shopfronts along Monnow Street and the agri-market held at the livestock centre. The area is a recognised trailhead for walking paths along the Wye Valley and into the nearby woodland.
