Goodrich Castle: Exploring a Medieval Fortress in England

Perched above the River Wye, Goodrich Castle is one of the best-preserved medieval fortresses in England — and it’s now the 17th castle added to the DuckAbroad Travel Passport. It’s also the sixth castle in the United Kingdom your family can collect as a sticker and stamp.

Built by the Normans and expanded over the centuries, Goodrich Castle offers families a chance to walk through real medieval chambers, climb tower ruins, and imagine life inside a fortress that has stood for nearly 900 years. With its dramatic walls and sweeping countryside views, it’s an unforgettable stop for kids who love history, knights, and castles.

The castle is currently open to visitors on weekends, making it an easy and scenic day trip for families exploring England. If your kids enjoy collecting historic places, you can browse the full list of DuckAbroad castle stickers and see how many they’ve visited so far.
