There is evidence of continuous human occupation from the Mesolithic period. The town grew in importance when the Normans erected a castle at what was the lowest bridging point of the River Wye. The town flourished as a port, being exempt from English taxation, and it mainly traded in timber and bark from the Wye Valley. The town became an important centre for tourism from the late eighteenth century.

Accessed through the archway, The Courtyard is a recent Bovale development, containing 20 new apartments. Viewed from the edge of Welsh Street.
