White Hill, Monmouth

At the start of the 20th century, White Hill had an abundance of blackthorn and cherry trees. In the spring the hedgerows and trees would blossom so the hill would be covered in a mass of white - hence White Hill. During the 20th century the Forestry Commission took over management of the woods and gradually blossoming trees and hedgerows have been replaced with faster growing evergreen trees.

Several public bridleways lead to and across the hill, from Worthybrook and Wonastow to the south and from Monmouth to the east. There are in addition a number of public footpaths and a restricted byway giving access to the hill. In addition there are other forest access tracks within the woodland, the larger part of which is owned and managed by Natural Resources Wales (successor body to Forestry Commission Wales) and dedicated as 'open country' under the provisions of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 meaning that the public have a right of access on foot across the area. The Offa's Dyke Path runs east–west across the northern flanks of White Hill.
