Castles in Gwent
The romantic ruins of 13th century Usk Castle stand on the site of an earthwork defence dating to the early 12th century. A 12th century square stone keep, round tower and parts of a curtain wall survive. The 14th century gatehouse is part of a 17th century private home. The castle ruins are surrounded by attractive topiary and an herb garden.

Pear-shaped and secluded, 12th century White Castle, originally named Llantilio Castle, is an attractive moated castle. The first defences may have been the work of Henry II, but remodelling occurred in the latter part of the 13th century. The outer bailey defences are largely intact.
