Monmouth Castle - Added to Castles and Fortifications in Monmouthshire, Wales

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Monmouth Castle is located near the centre of Monmouth, the county town of Monmouthshire, on a hill above the River Monnow in south-east Wales.

It was an important border castle and the birthplace of Henry V of England. During the English Civil War, it was damaged, changed hands three times, and partially destroyed to prevent further fortification. In 1647, part of it collapsed, and Great Castle House was built on the site, now serving as the headquarters and museum of the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers.

The castle is a Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 08/04/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
