The story

Story · Monnow Gate

  • en

You're standing at Monnow Bridge in Monmouth, Wales. This is the only fortified river bridge left in Great Britain with its gate tower still standing on the bridge itself. Bridges like this were once common all over Europe. Almost all of them vanished, cleared away for traffic and growing towns. This one simply survived.
