Tips

Alex Foxfield

February 4, 2021

Snodhill Castle is a romantic and picturesque ruin, perched above the tiny settlement of Snodhill in Herefordshire's Golden Valley. Recent investigations suggest it was one of the first castles in Britain to receive masonry defences in around 1100. Most castles at this time would have been constructed from wood.

The castle's former might, coupled with its strategic position, would have made it a fortress of some importance. It has undoubtedly played a role in the various wars that have been fought in this border country through the ages.
