Our project for history is on Caldicot Castle. We chose this castle because we found it very interesting and it looked easy to make. We knew a lot about it already because I live in Caldicot and have been there many times, my house backs onto the castle grounds.
The castle is really good because it is still intact and all the rooms are furnished how they would have been when the castle was first built.
It is built in beautiful grounds with lush green grass all around with a pond inside and a cannon in the middle of the grounds.There is a moat all around the castle but has no water in it now. The castle is open daily to the public and it is in a brilliant spot for tourists because there is a park opposite where the children play and have picnics so they can just pop along after eating to look inside. The castle also holds regular banquets where you have a meal with no knives or forks and some people are picked before the meal to be King and Queen.
In the summer they do lots of activities in the castle and also hold medieval battles.
The castle is said to be haunted by the ''Grey Lady'' who people have claimed to have seen.
We made our castle out of lots of cardboard, green sticky tape for the grass and sand for the paths, we painted it a mud brown colour and made a brochure and a video about the castle, it was great fun!!!!!!!!!!
Here are some photos:
