Fonmon Castle is situated within a 340-acre rural estate in the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan. Just 30 minutes from Cardiff and the M4, Fonmon Castle is often considered a ‘hidden gem’. Built in 1180, this unique home has been owned by just two former families in its 800-year history. Combining history, charm and adventure, Fonmon Castle offers beautiful Georgian interiors, perfect for business meetings, private dinners and small celebrations, whilst outside you are surrounded by acres of beautiful grounds. At the end of the south lawn is a shady dell & the folly; within the walled gardens, there are several different garden rooms - an enclosed scented garden with thatched summerhouse, flower-filled secret garden, herb beds & an area for growing produce for our kitchens. New for spring 2020, we present our contemporary Wedding Village featuring our ‘three-top-hat’ Tipi for weddings & special events; a medieval farm & grange hamlet where history comes alive & nature walk with Dino park.

Well this is my second visit to Beaupre Castle now and it fascinates me every time. I didn't know what sort of building i was going to the first time i went. I got taken here by my uni mentor as he knows i love all this medieval and Tudor history. It is a beautiful ruin, there is so much life in this building and so much to explore. I wish Cadw would think about doing sleep overs in the grounds as it would be such a pull for the castle especially as it is suppose to be haunted. It has made me look more into the history of the house and the previous occupants. It is a great find and i will be going back again, in case i missed anything.
