The Narth

The Narth (Welsh: Pennarth) is a village in Monmouthshire, Wales.

It is located about 6 miles (9.7 km) south of Monmouth, and about 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Trellech, on a spur of land overlooking the Whitebrook and Wye valleys.

[1] The village developed initially through settlement on waste land, principally by workers in paper mills in Whitebrook in the nineteenth century.

In the 1920s, land was offered for sale by the owner, the Marquis of Worcester, and development continued on a sporadic basis until the late twentieth century.

The Trekkers opened in the early 1970s as a trekking centre, and operated as a private members' club until 1984; thereafter it was run as a pub, housed in a log cabin, until it closed in 2004.
