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 Maughan, which dates from the 12th or 13th century and has a distinctive local dovecote belfry. The church was much restored by the architect J. P. Seddon in 1865/6.[http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-2084-church-of-st-maughan-llangattock-vibon-ave Church of St Maughan, Llangattock-Vibon-Avel], British Listed Buildings.

The village has given its name to the St Maughans Formation, the lowest Devonian rocks of the Old Red Sandstone.
