The Castle Inn

The Monmouth Castle and Military Museum is a volunteer-run establishment that chronicles the history of the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers Militia, tracing its origins back to a muster in 1539 during the reign of Henry VIII. As the only surviving regiment from the Militia and the Senior Regiment of the Reserve Army, the museum highlights the regiment's evolution and its significant connections to local aristocracy and the town of Monmouth.

Exhibits at the museum showcase the Militia system, the regiment's involvement in various conflicts including the Boer War and both World Wars, and archaeological artifacts that illustrate the early defenses of Monmouth. Additionally, the museum features sections dedicated to notable historical figures such as Henry V and explores themes like mine clearance, the Home Front, and the roles of women during wartime.
