Council sourceAn amendment to the existing outer castle wall (also the boundary wall) is proposed to accommodate a second exit from the grounds of Abergavenny Castle. Amendments are to include a new gap in the wall, new gates in filling the gap, small areas of flagstone surfacing to accommodate foot traffic, a raised level paved area outside the wall leading to 4 steps in one direction and a ramp in the other direction, to transition between existing level-differences inside to outside the castle grounds. No works are proposed above the height of the existing wall.
