Monnow Bridge is the only remaining medieval fortified river bridge in Britain where the gate tower stands actually on the bridge.
The bridge itself was built in the 1200s and the gatehouse was added in around 1300s. The bridge itself has undergone many changes over the years. Nevertheless, it has remained the main car route connecting the two banks until 2004.
Nowadays, it is a pedestrian-only bridge.
