Sometimes referred to as Monmouth Bridge, Monnow Bridge is a charming medieval stone gated crossing, the last fortified river bridge in Britain. Once, this kind of crossing was a common sight right across Europe, but today few remain. Due to its historical importance, Monnow Bridge is a Grade-I listed building and a scheduled monument.
