The castle and its numerous information boards is a good place to learn about the importance of Montgomery in the context of its location overlooking one of the most important routes in and out of Wales. Located on a craggy peak which dominates the landscapes for many miles, the car park is very well located for both the able bodied as well as those of society who are less mobile (eg wheel chair or walking stick users). Situated less than three miles from an ancient fording point of the River Severn it is easy to understand why a fort should be built here- it is a great location for a large detachment of troops and cavalry, thus offering the opportunity for control of the river/border crossing point when required. The castle is badly ruined but easy to understand how it looked. Besides history, if you wish to see extensive views of the landscape, this castle is a must. A visit would last 60 minutes max. In poor weather or winter, dress up warmly.

Part of the story of Welsh/English conflict, this set of ruins is worth a visit for its history and the extensive views. Beware the steep slope to the site (impossible to those with impaired mobility). The castle has several information boards thereon, which brings the place to life. Well worth a quick visit if you are passing by.

The Cottage - The Monty's Brewery Visitor Centre is the ideal spot to enjoy a pint of your favourite Monty's beer, learn about the brewery and how we brew our beer. It's a perfect spot to stop off and enjoy the fantastic views out over the Welsh hills. There are great walks around and if you are walking Offa's Dyke, we brew the official beer "Best Offa". There is a small pilot plant for brewing experimental beers which can be viewed from the bar area. A limited food offering is available, Sausage roll,pork pie, or cheese board to be enjoyed with a pint!
