Monmouth
Monmouth is the historic county town of Monmouthshire in Wales as well as also a neighborhood. Situated where the River Monnow joins the River Wye, simply 2 miles (3.2 kilometres) of the border with England. The town is 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Cardiff, and also 113 miles (182 km) west of London. It is within the Monmouthshire regional authority, and also the parliamentary constituency of Monmouth. Monmouth's population in the 2011 census was 10,508, climbing from 8,877 in 2001. The community was the site of a small Roman fort, Blestium, and also became developed after the Normans constructed a castle here after 1067. Its medieval rock gated bridge is the just one of its kind staying in Britain. The castle later entered into the property of the House of Lancaster, and was the birthplace of King Henry V in 1387. In 1536, it became the county town of Monmouthshire. A market community and an emphasis of educational and cultural tasks for the bordering backwoods, Monmouth has become a tourism centre at the heart of the Wye Valley.
