Cilgerran Castle

Throughout the school summer holidays we will have a trail to follow. There are clues to five of our most famous visitors hidden around Cilgerran Castle? Hunt around the castle for all the clues to reveal their identity. Can you find them all?

The Company of the Raven will be setting up camp in the castle on the bank holiday weekend. Living history activities will be taking place throughout both days.

See eye to eye with birds of prey. Get close enough to touch them, discover how they hunt and their importance in medieval life. Flying displays throughout the day and handling sessions too.

Our History Man, local historian Glen Johnson, brings the castle to life with his fact-packed history walk and talks. Two hour-long talks will be given, 11am and 2pm, with plenty of time for questions in between.

Join forager Jade Mellor on a seasonal wild food walk; wandering through the castle grounds and down to the gorge, identifying and gathering the tastiest wild plants that the season has to offer, and using your foraged finds to flavour spicy...
