I have been researching King Henry the V all my life and now I am living in Europe and am able to do some traveling. If anyone has been to this castle and has any extra info on it it would be great to have before I go there! thanks!

Hi,
Monmouth is a very nice market town. And of course more famous for its excellent remaining town gate on the bridge.
The remains of the castle are of course on private land. Belonging to the Army I think ?
But last time I was there trying to take pic's from just inside the compound, and was kindly waved forward and told to click away.
Will see if I can find any more for you.

Cheers ... Peter

Thank you so much Peter!
I saw in some pictures that I found that there was a gate around the castle, but I stll must try. I have been reading everything and anything about this particular King and therefore much of his birthplace since I was about eight years old. I have to at least go there, even if it is mostly off limits. Please anything that you have to share would be most appreciated!!
Thanks again!
