Skenfrith Castle
Skenfrith Castle is a ruined 13th Century castle in
the village of the same name in Monmouthshire, on the border with
Herefordshire. It is one of the "Three Castles" built to defend the Monnow
Valley border area of Wales and England, but fell out of use in the late 15th
Century.
Viewers of "Doctor Who" might recognise the castle
area as it was a filming location used in the episode "Amy's Choice". There is
no charge for entry or parking, but the car parking area is somewhat limited in
capacity.
