We lay siege to four Welsh castles today!!!

We hit four, yes FOUR castles today, and all were fantastic! The first we went to was Grosmont. This one was tucked behind a small village down a unassuming footpath. It was amazing to be standing there and thinking back on what was going on those hundreds and thousands of years ago...a humbling experience.









The second castle was Skenfrith. This one was similar to the first, in the middle of a small village and you just walked right in. It has some of the original metal bars over a window, still remaining from medieval times...










The third in our whirlwind tour was White castle, so named due to the whitewash type coating that was originally applied to the outer walls, but long since gone. This was the first one we saw that had a moat!










The last castle was Raglan. It was the newest, the best preserved, and had the most restorations done. It was also my favorite, as I came across the fairest maiden in the land...
