Monmouthshire Villages Summary

Monmouthshire Villages by Geoffrey Davies

As well as highlighting the well known beauty spots in villages along the River Wye and the many castles and Roman remains, some hidden gems are revealed like the roodscreen and loft in St Jerome's church at Llangwm and the isolated church at Kilgwrrwg along with legends of fairies in Abertysswg and Bassaleg being the birthplace of the Arthurian Merlin.
