Premier Inn Monmouth

Monmouth is best known for its rich history, countryside surroundings and connection to the famous Battle of Monmouth. The town sits at the meeting point of the Rivers Wye and Monnow, giving it a scenic riverside setting. It’s also closely linked to Admiral Lord Nelson, with a museum dedicated to him in the town. Monmouth is also famous for its medieval Monnow Bridge – the only surviving fortified river bridge of its kind in Britain – and for being the birthplace of Henry V.

Absolutely! Monmouth is a great place for a short break or weekend getaway. It has a historic centre with plenty of independent shops, cafes and traditional pubs, plus a mix of cultural attractions like the Nelson Museum and the Castle and Regimental Museum. If you enjoy walking or cycling, the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean are right on the doorstep, perfect for scenic outdoor adventures. Wine enthusiasts will also enjoy the local vineyards, such as Ancre Hill, which have put Monmouth on the map for Welsh wine.

No, Monmouth doesn’t have a beach, as it’s an inland town surrounded by countryside rather than the coast. If you’re looking for a seaside escape, your nearest beaches are along the South Wales coast, such as Barry Island or Porthcawl, which are around an hour and a half’s drive away. Monmouth is more about riverside walks, historic streets and countryside scenery than sandy shores.

Monmouth is in a fantastic location for exploring both Wales and England. It’s right on the edge of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the Forest of Dean, which is ideal for outdoor activities. Nearby towns and cities include Ross-on-Wye, Abergavenny and Chepstow, all within a short drive. History fans can visit Tintern Abbey or Raglan Castle, and nature lovers can enjoy boat trips, kayaking or long walks along the River Wye.

Monmouth is full of things to see and do, whether you’re into history, food or the great outdoors. Start by following the Monmouth Heritage Trail, a perfect way to explore the town’s historic buildings and landmarks—just pick up a guide from the Shire Hall and follow the blue plaques. Wine lovers will enjoy Monmouth’s vineyards, with local spots like Ancre Hill, Wernduu and White Castle gaining a great reputation for their wines. For a fun day out with the family, head to Humble by Nature, Kate Humble’s working farm, where you can meet Hereford cattle and Welsh mountain sheep and learn about traditional farm activities like sheep-shearing or cider-making. History buffs won’t want to miss the Nelson Museum and Local History Centre, home to one of the world’s best collections of Admiral Nelson memorabilia, or the Castle and Regimental Museum, which tells the story of the Royal Monmouth Engineers through fascinating artefacts. Finally, make sure you sample artisan meats from Trealy Farm, try a slice of traditional Bara Brith from Wigmores and wash it all down with a refreshing Welsh scrumpy. Monmouth is the perfect mix of heritage, local flavour, and countryside charm.
