Visiting The Castle
Skenfrith is located on the B4521, five miles north-west of Monmouth, and is an open site, which may be visited free of charge at any reasonable time of day. The moat has been filled in, and the castle is now surrounded by a grassy lawn in the centre of the small village of Skenfrith. Three of the four corner towers still stand, as does its curtain wall up to the level of the wall walk. The round keep is intact, and the foundations of the hall block along the western wall have been excavated as well.
