Caldicot Castle — a compact medieval fortress with a moated curtain wall, square keep, timber-framed domestic range and formal gardens. Shoot architectural detail, reflections in the moat and fortified silhouettes at golden hour. Best light: sunrise/sunset for warm side-light and long shadows; overcast for moody textures. Accessible by car (on-site parking) and public transport; check Historic Houses/National Trust-type opening times and any event closures (medieval fairs provide dynamic shots).
