Nestled in the Wye Valley - Monmouth sits between the rivers Wye and Monnow.

The market town has a rich history - and is particularly proud of its famous sons.

Watch the report from Alexandra Lodge below:

Henry V was born in the town in 1387.

Another good man from Monmouth was motoring pioneer Charles Rolls.
