Monmouth and the Wye Valley

Mitchel Troy sits beside Monmouth, the handsome market town that was the birthplace of Henry V and is famous for its fortified 13th-century Monnow Bridge — the only one of its kind still standing in Britain. The town is the gateway to the Wye Valley, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where the river winds between wooded hills past castles and abbeys. It’s an area made for slow days and good walks. For more places to stay in the area, see our guide to accommodation in Monmouth.

Days out from the guest house

The Wye Valley packs a lot into a small area. The romantic riverside ruins of Tintern Abbey, the spectacular viewpoint at Symonds Yat Rock and gentle canoeing trips on the River Wye are all within easy reach. Walkers can pick up the Wye Valley Walk or Offa’s Dyke Path, while the Forest of Dean lies just across the border for cycling and family days out. Monmouth itself rewards an afternoon’s wander, with its independent shops, the Shire Hall and the Nelson Museum. Further afield, the market towns of Abergavenny and Ross-on-Wye and the eastern Brecon Beacons are all a comfortable drive away.
