Grosmont Castle, Medieval castle in Grosmont, Wales.
The stone fortress includes two circular towers, a gatehouse, and inner ward walls positioned on an elevated site near the Welsh border.
Norman builders established this defensive structure after 1066 to protect the route from Wales to Hereford during the territorial expansion.
The castle forms part of the Three Castles of Gwent along with Skenfrith and White Castle, representing Norman military architecture in Wales.
Visitors can access the castle ruins daily from 10 AM to 4 PM throughout the year, except for December 24-26 and January 1.
The north block features a 14th-century octagonal chimney stack, marking the transition from military fortress to noble residence.
