Nelson elsewhere in Monmouth
The Kymin
(A National Trust property)
The eighteenth century buildings and landscape of The Kymin are a concentrated treasure. It provides solitude, seclusion and stunning views across to the Brecon Beacons.
​
The Round House, built for a gentlemen’s dining club, was completed in 1796. The adjacent Naval Temple, completed in 1801, boasts a painting of The Battle of the Nile and celebrates sixteen admirals and their naval victories.

The Naval Temple
The Naval Temple at The Kymin was completed in 1800 to commemorate Admiral Nelson’s victory over the French fleet at the Battle of the Nile in August 1798. Built to honour the bravery of distinguished Admirals who secured England’s victories in past and present wars, the monument stands as a tribute to their legacy. It is respectfully dedicated to Her Grace, the Duchess of Beaufort, daughter of Admiral Boscawen. (Source: National Trust).
