Grosmont Castle, nestled in Monmouthshire, Wales, boasts a rich history that dates back to the early Norman period. Constructed around the 12th century by Walter de Clare, a Norman lord, the castle's strategic location near the English-Welsh border rendered it a crucial defensive stronghold during medieval conflicts.
Remaining in the de Clare family for generations, the castle witnessed expansions and enhancements over time, reflecting its significance as a centre of power and administration. Its participation in the Welsh Wars underscored its military importance, serving as a bastion for Norman forces and a target for Welsh rebels.
Strategically situated atop a hill, Grosmont Castle leveraged its natural vantage point, reinforced by walls, towers, and other defensive structures. However, with the evolution of warfare, its strategic relevance waned, leading to a gradual decline and eventual abandonment by the 16th century.
Today, Grosmont Castle stands as a popular tourist destination, managed by Cadw, the Welsh Government's historic environment service. Visitors are drawn to its captivating ruins, which offer a window into its medieval past and the architectural prowess of the era. Grosmont Castle stands as a poignant reminder of the turbulent history of the Welsh Marches and the enduring legacy of medieval fortifications in Wales.

Good morning! to you and a very Happy Mothers Day for you! Thank you so much for taking the time to join us, we appreciate you!
So fascinating to imagine all these castles built for military defence which endured brutal battles and sieges then becoming opulent mansions for the wealthy!
The church was my favourite bit. So well preserved! Well done, Alessa and Brett! 👍👍
