Skenfrith

At this point the Monnow Valley forms something of a gap in the natural defences of the Welsh Marches and it was here that the Normans built Skenfrith Castle (NT), the last of the Three Castles - the others being White and Grosmont. Situated beside the river, Skenfrith Castle was built in the
13th century by Hubert de Burgh and is noted for its fine round tower keep and its well-preserved Great Hall and curtain wall. Once the troubled domain of medieval warlords, this border region is today peaceful and undisturbed.

The Parish Church of St Bridget dates from the 13th century with later additions, and sits close to the River Monnow, where stand the remains of a medieval quay.
