Goodrich Castle was obliterated by mortar shells during the English Civil War from ‘Roaring Meg’. See one of the videos below where they blow up a caravan with a Civil War mortar!!
But despite the damage from the war, Goodrich Castle is still an impressive castle to visit, standing in the countryside above the River Wye.
Parking is available on site, but there’s a charge unless you are an English Heritage Member.
Remember, if you are visiting more than one English Heritage place in a year, getting an English Heritage Membership could save you money.
