St. Maughans is located three miles north west of Monmouth.

St. Maughans is close to the River Monnow and the border with England. The parish contains the Hilston Park.

The village has a church dedicated to Saint Maughans, which dates from the 12th or 13th centuries and has a distinctive local dovecote belfry. The church was much restored by architect J. P. Seddon in 1865/6.
