What is recorded here

Castle Frome Castle stands in Herefordshire as a scheduled monument, marked only by a point on the official list rather than a clear gate or path. The name suggests a fortress, yet no wall or tower is certain, leaving the place half-remembered and impossible to visit without first learning whether the land is shared. What is known is that the area is protected, not that it is open.
The National Heritage List for England records Castle Frome Castle as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Built by the de Braose family in the 12th century, Castle Frome Castle is important as a well-preserved example of a motte-and-bailey castle and as a key defensive site in the medieval landscape of Herefordshire.

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