This Sunday 14th September 2025 children can enjoy free entry to all of Monmouthshire's Cadw sites to celebrate Owain Glyndŵr Day. So that's free entry for children to Chepstow Castle (easily accessed just across the Severn Bridge), Raglan Castle in the heart of Monmouthshire, and Tintern Abbey in the beautiful Wye Valley.
It's great timing for Chepstow Castle as all weekend the historical re-enactment group Bowlore take over Chepstow Castle. There'll be displays and demonstrations all weekend, plus have-a-go archery and knight school (additional charge to take part in the activities).
There's also free entry for children to Caerleon Roman Fortress Baths in Newport, Blaenavon Ironworks in Torfaen and Tretower Court in Powys, all neighbouring Cadw sites which are easy to reach from Monmouthshire.

Chepstow Castle is a must-visit as the oldest post-Roman stone castle in the UK (with the oldest castle doors in Europe!). It is a beautifully preserved masterpiece of medieval engineering, perched high above the Wye Valley like a history lesson in stone.
Raglan Castle is an impressive fifteenth-century castle built by Sir William ap Thomas and his son William Herbert, remodelled by William Somerset, third earl of Worcester, 1549-89. Finest late Medieval fortress in Britain. On-site exhibitions.
Cistercian abbey, founded in 1131 in the beautiful Wye valley village of Tintern. Remarkably complete abbey church rebuilt in the later thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, with extensive remains of cloister and associated monastic buildings.
