It is open during reasonable daylight hours almost every day, but check the events calendar on the website, as the castle is sometimes closed from noon for private events and weddings.
Enchanting, romantic ruins overlook the small town of Usk, and the wide river valley beyond. It is like the secret castle that no ones ever found exclaimed a young boy, seeing the natural and peaceful setting, the ancient walls covered with creeper, and old stone towers inviting the visitor to explore. This is a medieval castle that fell into disuse 500 years ago, waiting to be discovered.
