Description
This beautiful ancient 13th century bridge is still robust, thankfully closed to cars in 2004 it is only now used by pedestrians. It was the Historic Gateway into Monmouth, and the traffic in this century had to go single file, each vechicle waiting its turn. Years ago drovers drove their cattle and sheep across it to get to the livestock Market on the town side of the River Monnow. The River Monnmow joins the Wye River at Monmouth just a little way along from the bridge.
