The Three Castles Walk is a 20-mile circular walk that tours through verdant pastures and peaceful woodland to visit the three castles of Monmouthshire. This triangle of castles was built by the Normans in the centuries after 1066, intended to control what was then a turbulent border between England and Wales
The Three Castles walking holiday begins with ruined Grosmont Castle, with its crumbling walls and rounded gatehouse, before wandering to Skenfrith Castle, which stands in a loop of the river in the centre of its village.
This holiday saves the enormous, well-preserved fortress of White Castle for last. From the round tower of the keep, you can look back over the stunning scenery you've rambled through for the past few days.
Exploring the wonderful history of the three border castles of Grosmont, Skenfrith and White Castle.
Completing the challenging walk over Graig Syfyrddin, with views of The Sugarloaf and the Black Mountains.
Absorbing the tranquil surroundings of Monmouthshire and the Monnow Valley.
