Caldicot Castle

Caldicot Castle (Welsh: Castell Cil-y-coed) is an extensive stone medieval castle in the town of Caldicot, Monmouthshire, in southeast Wales, built near the site of Harold Godwinson's former Saxon castle by the Norman earls of Hereford from about 1100. The castle became a Grade I listed building on 10 June 1953.

It was in the possession of Thomas of Woodstock, a son of King Edward III of England, until his death in 1391, when it reverted to the Crown.

South West Tower and de Bohun Gateway. The western defences included the South-West Tower, which was converted into a house circa-1890, and the de Bohun Gateway. The latter was also known as the West Postern Tower and provided access to the Outer Ward. Caldicot Castle 29

Circular Keep. Similar in style to that at Pembroke Castle, the circular three storey Keep at Caldicot was built by Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford. It seemingly stands upon a motte and is often regarded as having been built on top of an earlier fortification. However, the masonry of the Keep extends deep into the earth mound suggesting that the two may actually have been contemporary. Attached to the Keep is D-shaped tower which originally rose to a lookout tower. Caldicot Castle 38

Caldicot Castle Layout. The castle occupied a broadly oval footprint. The curtain wall was dominated by the Great Gatehouse on the south side. To the north the Nedern Brook provided a water source and an additional defensive feature (not least as it saturated the surrounding ground creating a boggy area to the north. An Outer Ward was located to the west. Caldicot Castle 90
