Wilton Castle, Ross-on-Wye

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. See also: Wilto Castle English Heritage Grant - March 2005 Wyenot News Item
