Places to visit from Luxury Holiday Cottages Monmouthshire 

When you choose one of our luxury holiday cottages in Monmouthshire, you open the door to some of Wales’ most picturesque and historic destinations. 

A must-visit is the charming town of Monmouth, set where the Rivers Wye and Monnow meet. Famous for its 13th-century Monnow Bridge – the only remaining fortified river bridge of its kind in Britain – Monmouth is steeped in history. Spend time exploring the town’s lively high street filled with independent shops, traditional pubs, and welcoming cafés. Culture lovers will enjoy visiting the Monmouth Museum, which features exhibitions on King Henry V, who was born here, and the town's long-standing military heritage. 

For those seeking stunning natural scenery, the nearby Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is simply unmissable. Just a short drive from your cottage, the Wye Valley offers breathtaking river views, dense woodlands, and dramatic limestone gorges. Enjoy scenic walks or cycle routes, or take to the river on a canoe adventure for a different perspective. A highlight of the area is Tintern Abbey, one of the finest and most atmospheric monastic ruins in Britain. Set against a backdrop of wooded hillsides beside the River Wye, the Abbey’s soaring Gothic arches and peaceful surroundings make it a truly magical place to visit. 

Another nearby gem is Abergavenny, affectionately known as the “Gateway to Wales.” Nestled at the foot of the Black Mountains, this vibrant market town is a haven for food lovers, offering everything from artisanal markets to fine dining experiences. Visit during the famous Abergavenny Food Festival for a real treat, or explore the remains of Abergavenny Castle, set in lovely grounds with panoramic views. The surrounding countryside, including the Sugar Loaf and Skirrid Fawr mountains, offers wonderful walking opportunities for visitors who want to soak up the area's natural beauty. 

Finally, a short journey south brings you to Chepstow, a historic town perched on the banks of the River Wye. Here you can explore Chepstow Castle, the oldest surviving post-Roman stone fortification in Britain, dramatically positioned above the river. Wander the charming streets filled with Georgian buildings, visit the boutique shops, or stroll along the scenic Wye Valley Walk for stunning views. Chepstow is also a gateway to the Forest of Dean, offering even more adventures if you wish to extend your explorations. 

With such a rich variety of historic towns, stunning landscapes, and cultural treasures to explore, our luxury holiday cottages in Monmouthshire provide the perfect base for a truly unforgettable Welsh escape.
