Like history do you? Well try this for size: The Bishop’s Castle is thought to have been built by Bishop de Braose between 1265 and 1287. It consisted of a gatehouse, a hall and two smaller towers. The castle suffered at the hands of Owain Glyndr in 1404, and the occupying bishop moved to safer quarters in Chepstow. The rectangular castle has a gatehouse with two three-​storey towers and slots for a sliding portcullis. A small spiral staircase leads to the remains of a hooded fireplace and a Tudor window on the upper floor, and there is a dungeon below ground level.
The courtyard is now a public garden. Go and soak up the past.
