Ruperra Castle has played a big part in the history of South East Wales but is currently a ruin at risk of collapse. Join the Ruperra Castle Preservation Trust at Ruperra Home Farm to find out more about its interesting past:
  • Guided walk to take in views of the Castle*
  • Free copies of our walking map
  • Archery with the Marcher Stuarts re-enactments
  •  Build a Lego castle
  • Refreshments
  • Purchase historical books about the Castle.

Both walks will start and finish at Ruperra Home Farm:
  • Short walk at 11:00, 12:00 and 13:30 – this walk will last around 50 minutes along fairly flat but uneven ground and will take in views of the Castle.
  • Long walk at 14:30 – this walk will take one hour and 20 minutes and will take in views of the Castle, as well as walking to the top of the Iron Age hillfort and motte on Coed Craig Ruperra to absorb the breath-taking views over the Bristol channel. Walkers should be fit enough to walk an ascent of 100m.

Booking is essential
​
Help Ruperra Castle Preservation Trust save Ruperra Castle and surrounding buildings and gardens by campaigning to secure them to use for community benefit, and to ensure a better future for our precious local heritage.
​
*Please note that you can’t visit the Castle as it is privately owned and a dangerous ruin. The walks will take in views of the Castle.

We did it! We are delighted to share that our petition closed on 18 July 2023 and we obtained 10,498 signatures asking for the Senedd to make conservation management plans compulsory for scheduled monuments at risk such as Ruperra Castle.

Our petition will now be discussed by the Senedd Petitions Committee on the afternoon of Monday 11 September from 13:30 where they will decide how they can take our petition forward and if it will be recommended for a plenary debate. You can watch the discussion live,  and we will include the link shortly.

Thank you to all of our supporters that promoted the petition over the last six months.  We are delighted that between us we obtained 7,467 signatures online, and 3,031 on paper.
