Abergavenny Castle

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

One of the earliest Norman castles in Wales, Abergavenny dates to 1081. Four substantial towers remain, with a 14th century gatehouse and barbican. The motte is surmounted by a Victorian mock keep, built on the remains of the original 12th century version. During the late 12th century the castle was owned by William de Braose, one of the most notoriously cruel of the Norman Marcher Lords.
Museum: The museum is housed in the courtard of the town's medieval castle, and traces the history of the town and its surrounding area.
