Monnow Bridge is a three span stone bridge, dating from c.1272, carrying a gatehouse of c.1290. It was widened on both sides in the early 19th century, when the cut-waters are thought to have been refaced, but not extended, and pedestrian arches were cut through the flanking towers of the gatehouse. Fortified in 1839.

Part of:
