Grosmont Castle added to Castles and Fortifications in Wales by clinkadink on 23/10/2023

Parking & TOAL: 51.915628, -2.867284

Grosmont is a member of an illustrious trio of strongholds. Along with Skenfrith and White Castle, it’s one of the ‘Three Castles of Gwent’ built by the Normans to control a key section of troublesome border country. The original earth-and-timber stronghold, build on a gros mont (French for ‘big hill’), was later replaced in stone.

It experienced an active life. Thirteenth-century reconstruction included the gatehouse and circular towers. Remodelling a century later gave Grosmont apartments fit for a noble household, but by the 15th century the castle was in the wars again, besieged in the rebellion led by charismatic Welsh leader Owain Glyndŵr.

Kingswood Canal Junction, Warwick (By t0mroche)

Plenty to take in, lots of canal barges, bridges & countryside views. There is also a railway line running through if you’re lucky enough to spot a train like I was!

Walked from their car park through to the T junction and took off from the bridge at the end. Not many people around but do be mindful of potential inhabitants of the barges.

St. Mary The Virgin Church, Warwick (By t0mroche)

A lesser known gem of the Warwickshire country side. Quite an impressive building with barely anybody around (visited on a Tuesday lunch time).

Parked their car park to the rear & walked through the church yard & took off from the road. Not the easiest place to fly due to the height of surroundings & houses nearby but can be done with care

Charlestown Harbour (By akey_uk)

Beautiful old harbour with 2 beaches. Parts of Poldark were filmed here.
