Ruperra Castle is a grade 2* listed building in South East Wales, one of the only pageant castles in the UK, built for show not defence. A stylish renaissance home, it was built in 1626 by Sir Thomas Morgan, whose main family home was nearby Tredegar House.

The castle has a colourful history: it played host to Charles 1 and the military in WW2, has been a family home and hunting lodge, and has provided employment for local families. The castle was gutted by fire in 1941 and now stands as a romantic ruin and a building at risk of collapse. 

Join the Ruperra Castle Preservation Trust at Ruperra Home Farm to find out more about its interesting past, with :

  • guided walk to take in views of the castle*
  • free copies of the walking map

  • purchase historical books about the castle.

*Please note that you are unable to visit the castle as it is privately owned and a dangerous ruin. The walks will take in views of the castle.
