What is recorded here

Caldicot Castle is a medieval castle in Monmouthshire, Wales, recorded in the national monument register. It still belongs to the world of knights, guards and household fire, though much of its shape has faded from memory. To walk near it is to share a little of that old world, where stone rooms and open sky still answer the lives that made them.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Caldicot Castle as Castle from the Medieval; Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Caldicot Castle was built in the late 12th century by the de Bohun family, a powerful noble lineage in medieval England. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval fortified manor and as a symbol of the de Bohuns' influence in the region.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
