Montgomery Castle (Welsh: Castell Trefaldwyn) is a stone masonry castle looking over the town of Montgomery in Powys, Mid Wales. It is one of many Norman castles on the border between Wales and England.

Hiking

Montgomery Castle (Castell Trefaldwyn in Welsh) is an enchanting ruin to explore and affords wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. Whilst there was an earlier motte and bailey built a mile southeast between 1071-74, Montgomery Castle was rebuilt in stone in 1223 on the sixteenth birthday of Henry III. The castle is free to enter.
