Rockfield is a small village in Monmouthshire, located about two miles northwest of the town of Monmouth. Nestled in the scenic Wye Valley countryside, the village is known for its peaceful rural charm, historic buildings, and strong agricultural heritage.

Despite its small size, Rockfield gained international recognition due to Rockfield Studios, one of the world s first residential recording studios. The studio has attracted legendary musicians over the decades, including Queen, Oasis, and Coldplay, making the village a quiet but significant location in rock music history.

It is situated on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Rockfield. Sir Aston Webb, a celebrated British architect, is best known for designing the principal facade of Buckingham Palace and the main building of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
