Wilton Castle

Wilton Castle is a 12th-century Norman stone castle in south‑eastern Herefordshire, England, sited beside the River Wye adjacent to Ross‑on‑Wye. It was the seat of the Longchamp, de Cantilupe and de Grey families and saw military action over several centuries before suffering destruction in the English Civil War.

As it stood in 1308

The shape it held in its prime.

In its prime (c.1308) Wilton Castle presented as a complete Norman stone fortress set immediately beside the River Wye next to Ross‑on‑Wye. Continuous crenellated curtain walls rose to full height around a compact inner ward, with defended parapets and roofed domestic ranges visible behind the battlements; the silhouette was a low, solid medieval masonry stronghold hugging the riverbank rather than a timber settlement.
