Rhaglan Castle

Rhaglan Castle is the childhood home of Henry Tudor.

Rhaglan Castle is one of the last medieval castles to be built in England and Wales. Although designed with comfort and luxury in mind, it was pretty formidable too.

William Herbert, who built much of Rhaglan, was the first member of the Welsh gentry to enter English peerage when it was created by Earl of Pembroke in 1468.

A young Henry Tudor, later Henry VII, was placed in the custody of William Herbert to be brought up at Rhaglan Castle.

This was amongst the grandest homes in Tudor and Stuart Britain with fabulous gardens, an orchard and a deer park.
