Flower Delivery to Monmouthshire with Clare Florist

Monmouthshire is the county located in the southeastern side of Wales that borders with England. It covers 850 square kilometres of land, with 92,800 residents living there. The River Wye and Severn Estuary border the county. It was declared a county during the Laws in Wales Act of 1535, and formed of the Welsh Marches.

It borders Gloucestershire in the east, Glamorgan in the west, and Brecknockshire in the north. In 1542, Wales almost lost the county to England, and after Wales became part of the Kingdom of England it was called “Wales and Monmouthshire” for centuries. Finally, in 1974, Monmouthshire was confirmed as being a part of Wales.
