Αποτελεί μέρος της ομάδας 'Three Castles', μαζί με τα κοντινά Grosmont και Skenfrith. Αυτά τα ιστορικά νορμανδικά οχυρά χτίστηκαν για να ελέγχουν την συνοριακή περιοχή, και το White Castle είναι γνωστό ως το πιο επιβλητικό λόγω ενός ισχυρού εσωτερικού και εξωτερικού περιβόλου.

The only remaining mediaeval fortified bridge in Great Britain

Be aware that if you come down to the dam on the lake you can't escape through the valley, there's a gate on both of these minor roads coming down off the dam with some very threatening signs. You have to take on one of the bastard ramps, east or west doesn't matter, they're both brutal, though I can imagine eastward is worse.

The oldest fortified bridge in Great Britain. Built 1272

A lovely place with great views, with a variety of walking trails on offer. Please note that the majority of the trails are closed annually from 1st October to 1st March, this is to protect over-wintering wildfowl, for which the area has been designated an SSSI.

Clytha Castle (Welsh: Castell Cleidda) is a folly near Clytha between Llanarth and Raglan in Monmouthshire, south east Wales. Dating from 1790, the castle was built by William Jones, owner of the Clytha Park estate as a memorial to his wife, Elizabeth, who died in 1787. The castle is an example of the Gothic Revival and comprises three towers, of which two are habitable, and linking, castellated curtain walls. Long attributed to John Nash, recent research has confirmed that the architect was John Davenport of Shrewsbury. The folly has views towards the Sugar Loaf and Skirrid mountains on the easternmost edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Described by the architectural historian John Newman as one of the two "outstanding examples of late eighteenth century fanciful Gothic in the county", Clytha Castle is a Grade I listed building.

It forms a part of the Clytha Estate, a tranquil landscaped park containing a Grade I-listed house, as well as the castle. The folly was built in 1790 by William Jones as a memorial to his late wife Elizabeth. It stands proud on Clytha Hill to the backdrop of a grove of chestnut trees.
