About

Overmonnow is located on the western side of the River Monnow, directly opposite Monmouth's historic town centre. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of housing from Victorian terraces to more modern developments. Its layout is defined by several main roads that channel traffic across the Monnow Bridge into the town, making it a key gateway. The ward includes local amenities such as schools and shops that serve its community.

A notable landmark is the fortified Monnow Gate, the only remaining medieval bridge gate in Britain with its gatehouse still standing on the bridge. The area also contains the large Chippenham Fields, open green space used for recreation alongside the river. The presence of light industrial units near the A40 contrasts with the quieter residential streets further in, reflecting the ward's varied character.
