What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Skenfrith Castle as Castle from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Skenfrith Castle was built in the 13th century by the Marcher Lord Maurice de Londres and later held by the powerful De Clare family. It is important as one of the three castles guarding the Pass of Skenfrith, a key strategic route between England and Wales.
