Castle in Newport, south-east Wales
The experience
About this day out
The final remains of a significant waterfront fortress largely swallowed by the modern city. Built in the 14th century, it replaced an earlier motte-and-bailey castle close to the cathedral on Stow Hill. Its central tower with water dock is flanked by two further towers marking the fortress's north and south ends.
