Montgomery Town Centre and Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Picturesque town in the Welsh Marches with some fine examples of Georgian and early Victorian Architecture.

Tip by

333 m

Montgomery Castles ruins sit on a steep crag above Montgomery with views over the English - Welsh border.
Building started in 1223 but like many of the castles nearby it fell in the English Civil War and was partially destroyed in 1649 to stop it being used by the Royalists.
Now it's managed by Cadw and open daily from 10:00 - 18:00 during the summer and 10:00 - 16:00 in the winter.
Admission is free.
It's about a 3 min walk from the road so push your bike or lock it safely.

Montgomeryshire County War Memorial and Town Hill

Highlight • Monument

The Montgomeryshire County War Memorial stands on top of Town Hill next to the trig point at 320m. It stands in memory of the people of Montgomeryshire killed at war. Originally erected and dedicated to those killed in WW1 it has since been redesignated in memory of all lives lost in conflict.
The Town Hill is a nice walk from Montgomery town and offers great views of the surrounding countryside.
