Kings Head Hotel, Historic pub and hotel in Agincourt Square, Monmouth, Wales.
Kings Head Hotel is a historic pub and hotel occupying a prominent corner position on Agincourt Square in central Monmouth. The building displays a distinctive black-and-white painted stone facade and contains multiple dining and accommodation spaces arranged across its various floors and wings.
The establishment dates back centuries and served as a stopping point during the English Civil War when King Charles I visited the area while based at nearby Raglan Castle. The building has remained in continuous operation throughout Monmouth's changing history.
The building sits prominently in Agincourt Square, one of Monmouth's main gathering spaces where locals and visitors naturally pause and look around. Its striking black-and-white facade draws attention and makes it easy to spot from different angles of the square.
The location on Agincourt Square makes the place easy to find and navigate from other parts of Monmouth. Various entrances and level access points allow visitors to reach different areas without difficulty.
A decorative plaster overmantel from the 1670s remains visible inside the building, possibly bearing the likeness of the king who visited centuries ago. This carved ornament offers a tangible link to the royal connection that shaped the place's reputation.
