Grosmont Castle

Grosmont Castle is a medieval stone castle in Grosmont, Monmouthshire, Wales, now a ruin managed by Cadw. The visible remains largely reflect 13th-century rebuilding by Hubert de Burgh and 14th-century domestic additions that created a compact inner ward with a hall, accommodation block and mural towers.

As it stood in 1340

The shape it held in its prime.

A compact stone inner ward set above a grassy outer enclosure, dominated by two large circular mural towers and a rectangular gatehouse in the curtain wall; walls are built of roughly coursed local sandstone with narrow arrow loops and larger 14th-century window openings. A pilaster-buttressed two-storey hall block sits against the inner wall, and a north accommodation block rises as a three-storey residential tower capped by a distinctive octagonal chimney with a carved top. The whole is enclosed by a defensive ditch and approach.
