The Three Castles Walk is a 20-mile circular walk that tours through verdant pastures and peaceful woodland to visit the three castles of Monmouthshire. This triangle of castles was built by the Normans in the centuries after 1066, intended to control what was then a turbulent border between England and Wales

The Three Castles walking holiday begins with ruined Grosmont Castle, with its crumbling walls and rounded gatehouse, before wandering to Skenfrith Castle, which stands in a loop of the river in the centre of its village.

This holiday saves the enormous, well-preserved fortress of White Castle for last. From the round tower of the keep, you can look back over the stunning scenery you've rambled through for the past few days.

The Three Castles Walk is a single-centre tour. Throughout the walk, you will stay in the same accommodation in Llangattock-Lingoed or Abergavenny. Pre-paid taxi transfers will take you to and from the trail each day, allowing you to pick up where you left off while saving you the bother of repacking your luggage every day.
