Tuesday 15 August.R&R Monmouth.

We had an early breakfast, 8am, on a fine sunny day at our B&B, The Queen's Head. The building is over 400 years old.



After breakfast we headed to a laundrette, The Rub a Dub Dub, located just the other side of the Monnow Bridge.


After finishing the laundry we had coffee and an almond croissant at Cafe Nero, before heading out for some sightseeing. We visited the ruins of Monmouth Castle and photographed the outside of the museum of The Monmouth Regiment.



We then walked down to Monmouth Bridge via St. Mary's Priory Church. The steeple was too tall to photograph.



Then we walked north beside the river to visit the small white church we passed yesterday on the way into Monmouth. The church, St. Peter's,
has been flooded many times in it's long history. There was a church on the site in AD735, but the current building dates from the 12th century.
