Tretower Court and Castle

  • slide

The clue’s in the name. So striking was the massive circular tower built by Roger Picard II that his castle became known as Tretower – or ‘the place of the tower’. Over two centuries, from about 1100, the Picards transformed themselves from invading Norman adventurers to powerful Welsh lords. 

It would be remarkable enough on its own. But Tretower is two wonders in one. Just across the castle green lies an entire medieval court that became a byword for magnificence.
