I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Monnow Bridge in Monmouth, Wales, is the only remaining fortified river bridge in Great Britain with its gate tower standing on the bridge. Such bridge towers were common across Europe from medieval times, but many were destroyed due to urban expansion, diminishing defensive requirements and the increasing demands of traffic and trade.
The importance of the bridge and its rarity are reflected in its status as a scheduled monument and a Grade I listed building..
Construction of Monnow Bridge began in 1272 to replace a 12th-century Norman timber bridge. It also served as a gaol, a munitions store, a lodge, an advertising hoarding, a focus for celebrations and, most significantly, as a toll gate.
Built predominantly of Old Red Sandstone, the bridge was the subject of significant reconstruction and rebuilding in the 18th and 19th centuries. In those centuries, it also became a popular subject for artists; Turner, Gastineau and Cotman produced sketches of the bridge and gate.
Parking was in public pay and display car park 30 metres away, TOAL from the public footpath running along the river
