A secretive ancient fortress nestled on a promontory above the town, Usk Castle is a romantic ruin. Thought to have been established in the early 12th century on the site of a former Roman fort, it has seen its fair share of conflict. Today, it is Grade I-listed and is open on special occasions, to Usk Castle Friends on set days, as well as to those using the nearby glamping facilities.
