MONNOW (THE), a river of Hereford and Monmouth. It rises in Hereford, among the Black mountains, adjacent to the boundary with Brecon, 2 miles W of Creswell chapel; runs about 10 miles south-south-eastward, chiefly along a narrow valley, overhung by the Black mountain range, to the boundary with Monmouth, in the neighbourhood of Pandy r. station; runs thence 4½ miles north-eastward, along the boundary between Hereford and Monmouth, to a point ¾ of a mile SSE of Pontrilas r. station; receives there, on the left bank, the large tribute of the Dore; proceeds thence about 9 miles southeastward, along the boundary between Hereford and Monmouth, past Kentchurch, Grosmont, Garway, Skenfrith, and Llanrothall, to a point 1 mile NE of Rockfield; and goes thence about 4 miles windingly south-eastward, within Monmouthshire, to a confluence with the Wye at Monmouth.
