Caldicot Castle, Medieval castle in Caldicot, Wales, GB
The stone fortress features a round keep with nine-foot-thick walls, multiple defensive towers, and a fortified gatehouse enclosing an inner courtyard.
Norman earls of Hereford constructed the initial castle around 1100 near Harold Godwinson's former Saxon stronghold, with the Bohun family later building the stone structure.
The castle displays medieval military architecture through its defensive elements, including battlements, arrow slits, and a sophisticated system of walls and towers.
The castle functions as a museum with self-guided tours, opening hours from April through September, and facilities for hosting events in the great hall.
The Woodstock Tower contains carved stones bearing the names 'Thomas' and 'Alianore,' marking the residence of Thomas of Woodstock, son of King Edward III.
