Monnow Bridge and Gatehouse

Highlight • Bridge

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.

Monnow Bridge is the only surviving mediaeval fortified river bridge in Britain where the gate tower stands on the bridge. As such, the bridge is Grade I-listed and has been designated as a Scheduled Monument. According to the local tradition, building work commenced in 1272 to replace a Norman timber bridge.
