Montgomery Castle
Recommended by
Overview
Initially an earth-and-timber structure guarding an important ford in the River Severn, Montgomery was considered a suitable spot for the building of an ‘impregnable castle’ in the 1220s. Building and modifications continued for another 30 or so years, but the final conquest of Wales by Edward I meant the castle lost much of its importance. Photo credit: © Crown copyright (2015) Cadw
