Upton Castle

Cosheston, United Kingdom

Upton Castle, located in Cosheston, Wales, is a medieval fortress built in the 13th century by the Norman Malefant family, who held it until the 16th century.

The castle stands on a site of early Celtic Christian worship, with radiocarbon dating indicating Christian burials around 1010-1160 AD. The castle has undergone significant architectural changes over the centuries, including ornamental features added in later periods.

Surrounding the castle are 35 acres of historic gardens established in 1927, featuring rare trees, a formal rose garden, herbaceous borders, a walled vegetable garden, and woodland paths that lead to the estuary of the River Cleddau.

The grounds also include a medieval chapel with ancient effigies that probably predates the castle itself. Today, Upton Castle remains a private family home, but its gardens and historic legacy continue to attract interest for their natural beauty and historical significance.
