Caldicot Castle

Caldicot Castle is a medieval stone castle in Caldicot, Monmouthshire, built by the Norman earls of Hereford with major stone works from the 12th century and further additions in the late 14th century by Thomas of Woodstock. The site contains a cylindrical stone keep, continuous curtain walls and later towers; it is a Grade I listed building and has been restored and opened to the public.

As it stood in 1385

The shape it held in its prime.

A tall cylindrical stone keep sits on the inner edge of a broad grassy bailey, joined to a continuous curtain wall that sweeps away to an attached multi-bay range; a raised earthen mound sits before the keep with a timber bridge crossing to a gate entrance. The keep’s face shows narrow vertical openings and a single low entrance; the curtain is built of pale-brown local stone with irregularly spaced window and arrow-slit openings and several flanking towers.
