Castle Fraser
The dramatic riverside ruins and extensive earthworks of this Welsh border castle sit high on a rocky mound on the edge of the small, picturesque town of the same name.

Unusually, the castle's tall 13th century keep is set on the side of its mound. Founded shortly after the Norman Conquest, the castle and nearby settlement prospered until the early 15th century, when followers of the Welsh chieftain Owain Glyn Dwr devastated the surrounding area.

Features

    The largest and most elaborate of Scottish castles built on the Z plan design
    Mature woodlands with lovely walks around a tranquil flight pond
    Enchanting walled gardens with secret woodland area
