Raglan Castle / Castell Rhaglan

Fantastic Welsh border castle ruined after the end of the Civil War. Some interesting architectural remains from its time as a manor house as well as a castle.

Well stocked little shop, toilets on site. Plenty of towers to climb, walls to clamber around fantastic views over the Black Mountains from the top of the main keep. Plenty for history buffs and passing tourists alike.

Beautiful spot in wales with a lovely view of the countryside from the castle.

It’s about £24 for three people to enter so it’s not the cheapest attraction to visit but it’s beautifully maintained and quite a spectacular building.

Really loved I could bring my dog (except on the winding staircases)

Wish we can just carried our child instead of using a pram.

Amazing castle well worth a visit with lots of the original building still intact and there's lots to see. The courtyard is still there and the surrounding buildings also the lawns are a nice spot for a picnic.. lots of parking available too

I have a bit of an obsession with exploring old castles so when looking for one in the area, I found Raglan online. It seemed to be in great repair and the cost to visit was much lower than expected (we paid £8.30 each). I booked it online, but it seems thus wasn't really necessary on the day we went as people were also just turning up and buying tickets. Thre was ample free parking and the castle itself was huge and immensely impressive. Lots to see and explore and the views were stunning. The Great Tower was closed, thanks to a swarm of bees who made it their home, but that detracted from nothing. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic place for a day out. For the price of the ticket you get an amazing value. We went there on a Sunday and there was hardly anyone there so we were free to enjoy the beauty of the castle without any crowds.
definitely recommend climbing the grand staircase because of the amazing view at the top
Very beautiful and and inexpensive way to experience Welsh culture!!!

This castle is well worth a visit. From the outside we thought it was going to be small but going in you realise just how much there is to see. Plenty of castle to walk around and great views at the top. So much castle for your money and worth a visit. Spent about 2 hours here, loved it.

A little creepy but his place is amazing. Walking around the interior and reading the numerous and extensive interior signs is so informative and gives you an idea of life in the castle. Coolest thing is looking up at the walls and you see fireplaces still in the masonry walls even though the floors have long disappeared. If you can make it up the 90 narrow steps definitely go up to the tower to see the view that the castle guards had.
Gift shop has some interesting items and staff is friendly.
Highly recommended.

Great experience. One of Wales great castles. So much to see and do. I'd highly recommend a visit. Staff were great, good facilities. Helped that we went on a stunning day as well mind you. Only downside is that it was quite muddy in places where there were bottlenecks and the car park was too. I'd imagine after a bit of rain it would be pretty bad.
