Situated in the heart of one Britains quaintest towns in Gloucestershire stands St Briavels Castle. A breathtaking sight which will capture your attention and cast its spell.

Dare we endeavour to take a peak? Let us share with you what we discovered.

Erected in early 12th century, and Henry II himself rebuilding specific sections, St Briavels is surrounded by deep and rich forestry previously used as protected hunting grounds exclusive to royals.

During the reign of Edward I, the castle was further used as a crossbow and armoury weapons factory using the local iron ore producing finest ammunition against Welsh and Scottish soldiers.

The castle is believed to be extremely haunted and there have been too many reports to even assume a number !

Many visitors claim they have seen a little ghost girl wearing a long white dress.

In their SOLAR ROOM during excavations the small wrapped remains of a baby fell from the ceiling rafters and many have heard the unmistakable sound of a child crying in this room!

In the old HANGINGS ROOM the muffled sound of voices arguing have been heard accompanied by dragging sounds.

Others claim they witnessed a dark entity and also a full body apparition wearing a full armour suit which even gleams the moons reflection he is so real!

Unavailable for public entry at present although its well worth a look if ever you are in the UK!
