Category:Castles in Monmouthshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Castles in Monmouthshire, Wales.

It is estimated that Monmouthshire has at least 26 surviving castle sites within the present county boundaries (Gwent has even more). The density of castle building in this region has been claimed to be the densest in any region in Britain with more castles per square mile than anywhere else. Perhaps a testament to the resistance and resilience of the indigenous population, the qualities of the terrain and the value of the land and its resources commanded by the castles and their residents over the centuries.
