White Castle is actually part of a group of three castles but is the best maintained out of them, the others include Skenfrith and Grosmont. The centre of this castle is enclosed by strong round towers and has a good dry moat. Generally the three castles are referred to together, as at one stage they were all under control of a single lord, Hubert de Burgh. Although the other castles were constructed to serve as residences this is not the case for White Castle, it appears to have been purely for military work. Inside the castle there was a chapel, hall and kitchen but was in no way sumptuous. White Castle is located in a remote setting and offers a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, it is not the easiest place to find though. Entrance is over a bridge and there are fabulous views of the surrounding countryside from the towers and gatehouse, please be aware access is by steps so might not be suitable for everyone. Also please note the castle is not open Monday or Tuesday. There is plenty of information available illustrating the castle's history and available to buy is a booklet on all of the three castles. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the introductory talk that the custodian gives is very informative, admission is nominal and only payable in the summer. There are plenty of picnic benches within and outside the castle walls and loads of room for smaller visitors to run around.
