Tretower Court & Castle
Recommended by
Overview
This delightful site comprises a stone Norman tower, with walls nine feet thick and a splayed-out bottom to make it difficult to undermine, and tiny arched windows. It stands among trees in the beautiful Usk Valley. There’s also Tretower Court, built in the early 15th century. You can admire the magnificent hall ceiling made from wood and the gallery’s sliding shutters. The building is mostly well preserved, although some parts have been reconstructed. There is also a recreated 15th-century garden within the castle grounds. Photo credit: © Crown copyright (2015) Cadw
