Monmouth Wales |
Monmouth is the capital of Monmouthshire, situated on the Wye at its junction with the Monnow. There are remains of ancient town walls and fragments of the 12th-century castle, a favorite residence of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and the birthplace of Henry V. The 13th-century gate of the bridge over the Monnow is another feature of interest.
