Monmouth Castle and Regimental Museum  In 1875 the site of Monmouth Castle became the head quarters of the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers and remains so today, making it one of the few British castles in continuous military occupancy.  The small, volunteer-run museum on site tells the story of the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers, the only present-day regiment to have survived from the Militia
