Caldicot Castle and Country Park

“​We had a wonderful Sunday visit to Caldicot Castle. It’s an absolute gem of a place, especially since both castle entry and the parking are completely free! Inside, there is a lovely small gift shop that sells warm drinks and snacks, which was perfect for a quick break. We loved exploring the castle rooms, which are beautifully set up with historic furniture left behind by the very last families to occupy the estate when it was a family home. The absolute highlight, though, was climbing up to take in the fantastic, uninterrupted 360 degree views of the surrounding country park and parklands from the battlements.”

“Lovely castle and surrounds. There is a lot to see and explore. I recommend buying the small guidebook as it highlights certain things you may miss - I’ve visited lots of castles and hadn’t ever heard of “relieving arches”, such a wonderful detail that was noted. The castle is free to enter and there is also free parking. There are lots of rooms to explore and the climb to the battlements provides a great view. Highly recommend!”

“Fantastic place to visit. Historical site with lots of information and beautiful setting. Parking very good as there is an overflow carpark. Lovely little shop with small gifts and drinks and snacks, friendly staff. Has a park on the grounds for the children and lovely walks and picnic area and dogs are welcome . Highly recommend a visit- it's also free admission!”
