The castle courtyard highlights some of the fine details that went into the castle construction. Raglan is a grand 15th-century castle that eventually fell to Parliamentary forces during the English Civil War (1646). The castle was surrendered mostly in-tact, but was slighted (purposefully disabled) to prevent any future use as a fortification. Today it's an atmospheric ruin that makes for a fun visit.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (86 reviews)
The breakfast was lovely. There’s no air-conditioning so you’ll have to crack the window. There’s some stairs, so just be aware that you need to carry your luggage up some stairs. The staff are very helpful and friendly.

There was a street fair in Usk, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. We visited the castle and the museum, well worth a visit. Food and service in the Sprokwomble is highly recommended.

Llangeview Church, near to Llanllowell, Monmouthshire/Sir Fynwy, Great Britain. This is must have been a tranquil spot, now somewhat marred by the proximity of the A449(T). The setting is still beautiful though. In 1999, following a declaration of redundancy, the church passed into the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches who preserve it as a place of quiet contemplation for the local community and for visitors to enjoy. <a title="http://www.friendsoffriendlesschurches.org.uk" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.friendsoffriendlesschurches.org.uk">Link</a><img style="padding-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="http://s0.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/>
