Monmouthshire is a county of Wales. It borders Torfaen and Newport to the west; Herefordshire and Gloucestershire (in England) to the east; and Powys to the north. The largest town is Abergavenny, with other large settlements being Chepstow, Monmouth, and Usk. The present county was formed under the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994, which came into effect in 1996. It has an area of 850 km$^2$ (330 sq mi), with a population of 93,200 as of 2021. Monmouthshire comprises some sixty per cent of the historic county, and was known as Gwent between 1974 and 1996.
The Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales was established in 2002 and given statutory status in 2022. Its heightened status reflected an increased recognition of the importance of historic landscapes. Elisabeth Whittle, president of the Welsh Historic Gardens Trust and Cadw's inspector of landscapes, wrote, "historic parks and gardens are an integral part of the Welsh archaeological and architectural heritage." The register is administered by Cadw, the historic environment agency of the Welsh Government. It includes just under 400 sites, covering the gardens and parkland of private houses, historic deer parks, cemeteries, common land and public parks, which are recorded by principal area. Sites are listed at one of three grades, matching the grading system used for listed buildings. Grade I is the highest grade, for landscapes of exceptional interest; Grade II*, the next highest, denotes parks and gardens of more than special interest; while Grade II denotes nationally important sites of special interest. In addition to the Cadw register, a separate record of historic sites, called Coflein, is maintained by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW).
There are 48 registered parks and gardens in Monmouthshire. Five are listed at Grade I, nine at Grade II*, and thirty-four at Grade II. They include two deer parks, three urban parks, a cemetery and, the most common categories, the gardens of private houses and the parklands of country estates. The earliest sites are the mediaeval deer parks, while the 16th and 17th centuries saw the construction of the "outstandingly important" gardens at Raglan Castle. The 18th century brought the county's finest Picturesque landscape at Piercefield House, and the 19th its best Gothic Revival work at Clytha Park. In the 20th century Henry Avray Tipping created four gardens, all of which are Grade II*.

Payments to two rangers were recorded in 1283, and it is likely Bigod developed the park in the previous decade. | II | PGW(Gt)61(MON) |

The house sits on a plateau above the north bank of the River Usk and has wide views over the Usk Valley and the golf course of the Celtic Manor Resort. | II | PGW(Gt)36(MON) |

After 1800 the Naval Temple was built to celebrate Britain's maritime victories. Sir Richard Colt Hoare, who visited in 1803, was unimpressed, describing it as "in very bad taste". | II | PGW(Gt)5(MON) |
| Linda Vista Gardens | Abergavenny SO 29534 14096 51°49′16″N 3°01′26″W﻿ / ﻿51.821025°N 3.023759°W﻿ / 51.821025; -3.023759﻿ (Linda Vista Gardens) | 1 February 2022 | Urban park | A small urban park developed in the mid 20th century from a private garden laid out in the 1870s.
