White Caste
Casta Blanca
White Caste (Llanthony Crosseny, Abergavenny, Gwent) – this is another of the so-called “Three Castles” (or “castles of the Trilateral”). Of those castles, this one is in much better condition than, in particular, Skenfrith. Unlike other castles, which were built for both military purposes and as regal residences, this one existed strictly to hold off potential invaders and marauders. Some internal areas did include a chapel, hall and kitchen. In 1254, Henry III granted this castle (and other “Trilateral” castles) to his eldest son – the future Edward I. Admission: £3.00 (adult), £2.25 (seniors/students/
children under 16 years), £9.00 (family – two adults and all children under 16).
