  1. Things To Do - Chepstow Castle in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley
    Chepstow Castle

You are here: Things To Do > Attractions > Castles & Ruins

Castles & Ruins

From the iconic Tintern Abbey to the majestic Goodrich Castle, in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley we have a wealth of historical sites to visit.

Did you know that we have more castles per square mile than anywhere in the UK? Quite an incredible fact really considering how many castles the UK has! Some castles are proud homes, some are ruined and some are mere piles of rubble... some still have drawbridges and towers you can climb and some are also completely free to explore. From Goodrich Castle, one of the finest and best preserved of all English medieval castles towering over the River Wye, to St Briavels Castle which is now a YHA. We have Chepstow Castle, possibly the oldest castle in the UK and Caldicot Castle set in 55 acres of country park, the magical Usk Castle, the impressive Raglan Castle, Skenfrith Castle, Monmouth Castle, Abergavenny Castle, White Castle, Grosmont Castle... and more besides. So many castles and ruins... so little time!
