Three Castles of Gwent | Wales' Best-Kept Secret (Full Tour)

Three castles, one ancient lordship, and almost no crowds. Grosmont, Skenfrith and White Castle are among the most atmospheric medieval ruins in Britain — and most people have never heard of them. Built by the Normans after 1066 to protect the route from Wales to Hereford, these three Monmouthshire fortresses share a remarkable shared history spanning 900 years of conquest, rebellion and royal power struggles. Join Kevin Hicks as he explores all three of these medieval castles in the Welsh Marches.
