Caldicot Castle is set within 55 acres of idyllic country park in Monmouthshire. Founded by the Normans, developed in royal hands as a stronghold in the Middle Ages and restored as a Victorian family home, the castle has a romantic and colourful history.
Travel through time from a medieval castle to a Victorian mansion. Look out for Nerys the Dragon when you visit. You can find her between the pages of the new Explore and Create family activity pack which is full of ideas for exploring the site. Collect Nerys stamps and stickers for completed activities and try out our Dragon photo cut-out board!

Between the end of October and April vehicular access and the main car park is closed between 5.30pm and 8.00am (although the Church Road car park remains open). The Country Park remains open in this time.
Opening days and/or hours may vary for special events or as a result of private bookings, please check events listing or ring for details.
