The Kymin Roundhouse.
The Roundhouse was erected in 1794 by the Kymin Club as a picnic house for its members, people prominent in Monmouth society. They met on Tuesdays, 'dining together in a social and friendly manner'. Built on the highest point of The Kymin to take advantage of the astonishing views, particularly those to the west, over the town and towards the mountains around Abergavenny. Nelson and the Hamiltons breakfasted here in 1802. Monmouthshire County Council gave the building to the National Trust in 1902 after a public subscription. recently restored by National Trust when converted back from a dwelling to its appearance at the time of Nelson.
