Bredwardine Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Bredwardine, England

The stone remains of Bredwardine Castle stand near the River Wye, showcasing the architectural elements of a twelfth-century defensive structure.

The castle changed ownership from John de Bredwardine to the Baskerville family in 1227, later transitioning to the Vaughan family through generations.

The castle ruins represent a significant period in English medieval defense systems, reflecting the military strategies of the Norman period.

The scheduled monument status of Bredwardine Castle requires visitors to respect preservation guidelines and obtain necessary permissions before accessing the site.

Roger Vaughan, who married Dafydd Gam's daughter, transformed the original castle structure into a multi-gabled house during his ownership.
