Skenfrith
Skenfrith (Abergavenny, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire County) – located an hour (42 miles) northeast of Cardiff, this castle was built between 1219 and 1232. This is the only low-lying fortress of the three castles of Skenfirth, Grosmont, and White Castle (a.k.a. the “castles of the Trilateral”). The castle’s current state of disrepair was due to King Edward IV ordering it dismantled – with much of the original stones used for other buildings in the village of Abergavenny). As seen by visitors passing through here, this castle is currently surrounded by local residences. Interestingly, episodes of the BBC TV series “Doctor Who” were filmed here. Admission: free. Hours: 10 am – 4 pm daily.
