Unlike
Goodrich Castle,
Wilton Castle is privately owned, so cannot be explored every
day but the owners do hold regular open days during the summer
months. The castle makes an interesting and scenic building to
view from across the River at Wilton, Ross-on-Wye. Walking from
the town via Wye
Street, keep the river to your right and walk for a further
1/4 mile. There is also a public footpath which passes close to
the Castle - continue to the other side of Wilton Bridge and take
the steps to the right, leading down to the opposite riverbank.
Wilton
Castle, Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire
dates from the thirteenth century but there has been a fort at
the site since the reign of Stephen.
