Overmonnow is a ward on the western side of Monmouth in Monmouthshire, Wales, occupying the west bank of the River Monnow close to its meeting with the River Wye. Historically it grew as a medieval suburb with streets and buildings that still reflect that past, and the approach from this side to the fortified Monnow Bridge helps give the area a strong sense of place.
Today the ward is a mainly residential neighbourhood with local shops, pubs and community groups, popular with both long‑standing families and commuters drawn to the riverside setting and easy access to the historic centre of Monmouth. Its mix of historic character and everyday community life makes it quietly appealing to visitors exploring the town’s riverside and heritage.
