Zamek Skenfrith

Skenfrith Castle is a fascinating medieval fortification that is part of the famous 'Three Castles of Gwent'. Originally a wooden structure, it was replaced with a stone donjon and defensive wall in the 13th century by Hubert de Burgh.

Strategically located on the banks of the River Monnow, the castle controlled one of the main roads between England and Wales, protecting Norman estates from Welsh uprisings.

Its impressive central tower and well-preserved walls on an earthen hilltop will delight history buffs, families and photographers seeking picturesque views.
