My first ever visit to Raglan Castle was in 2008, and I visited the castle again at the end of March during a day of pleasant weather. In nearly twenty years, I can see that there have been some changes in that the castle seemed to have more areas open to visit that I do not remember visiting before. Raglan is the largest castle built by the Welsh, and it became one of the largest houses in the 1630s. The castle was taken over by Cromwell.
The castle is huge with a lot of ruins to explore, towers to climb, and cellars or underground passages to explore.
The castle dates from the 15th to 17th centuries.
The castle is surrounded by a moat. The largest tower was deliberately destroyed.
It does not take a lot of imagination to understand that this massive castle was once an important place. Click here to see my previous visit to Raglan Castle.
