Add this experience to your wishlist Penhow Castle

See more Castles & Palaces. See best of West Country in United Kingdom.


This is the most complete  of the many small castles built by minor Norman knights in South Wales. A few years ago it was restored and refurnished in an authentic late medieval fashion and it is a delight to visit. Lying close to an old church, it has a 12th century keep, a 13th century curtain wall, a 14th century gatehouse, a 15th century main hall, and an L-shaped house of the 16th century and later.
