Cowshed Cottage

Well worth a visit, only 5 miles from Cowshed cottage, it even has its own show in August!

This is Britain’s only surviving medieval bridge with a fortified gate on its span.

It has been in the heart of Monmouth’s story since the Middle Ages.

📍 Monnow Bridge, Monmouth in Monmouthshire, Wales

And we’re very close to the border of two countries, England and Wales!

If you've been wanting a proper change of scene, but the idea of a long journey is putting you off, we are likely a lot closer than you might realise…

🚗 Bristol, around an hour.
🚗 Bath, around an hour and ten mins.
🚗 Cardiff, around an hour.
🚗 Cheltenham, around forty minutes.
🚗 Worcester, around fifty minutes.
🚗 Birmingham, around an hour and a half.

From the M4 and M5 corridors, the Forest of Dean is on your doorstep. From the wider Midlands, it's an easy morning's drive.
