Clearwell Caves Ancient Iron Mines

Mining in the Forest of Dean is believed to have begun over 7,000 years ago during the Mesolithic period (Middle Stone Age) as people migrated back into the area after the last ice age (10,000 yrs ago). |

Raglan Castle
(6 Miles)*
Handsome Raglan, set amongst green, rolling border country, marks the end of an auspicious line. Largely the creation of the more peaceful, later Middle Ages, it brings to a close the great castle-building episode in Welsh history. |

Tintern Abbey

It's easy to understand why Tintern Abbey was one of the first places in Wales to attract Visitors. Travellers have been flocking to this riverbank in the wooded Wye Valley for hundreds of years to admire Tintern's grace and sublime beauty. |

White Castle
(8 Miles)*
This little-known historical gem is located deep in Wales's border country, today a tranquil landscape but in medieval times hotly disputed territory. Along with Skenfrith and Grosmont, White Castle was one of a triangle of fortresses. |
