Rowing at Monmouth

Monmouth Rowing Club is located close to the centre of Monmouth beside the River Wye. The club benefits from a minimum of 2,500 metres of excellent water (no motor pleasure craft) in the Summer, which extends up to 6.5 miles with the higher water levels of the Winter season.

River Navigation Rules

River navigation in Monmouth is a little unusual as we are not on an easily continuously navigable stretch of river. Please take a few minutes to read the NAVIGATION RULES for the Monmouth stretch of the River Wye. For those rowers using Monmouth Rowing (members and visitors), please also read the standard risk assessment. Please note that this is a generic document and as such may not take account of some weather conditions and participants, although we have tried to make it as complete as possible.
