About

Osbaston is a residential ward situated directly north of Monmouth town centre, across the River Monnow. The area is primarily composed of housing estates and suburban streets, with a mix of property types. It functions largely as a commuter area for the town and wider region. The ward includes the community of Osbaston itself, along with the suburb of Overmonnow, which is connected to the historic town centre by the Monnow Bridge.

The physical geography is defined by its position on the western bank of the River Monnow, with the land rising gently from the river floodplain. A notable local feature is the Church of St Thomas the Martyr in Overmonnow, a Victorian building constructed on the site of a medieval leper hospital. The area provides local amenities, including schools and shops, serving its immediate population. Green spaces are found along the riverbanks and within the residential layouts.
