No need to fear the weather on your visit to Usk Castle now !  With grateful thanks to Usk Castle Friends and Usk Gardens Open Days,  by whom the funds were raised, an ex-display model Gazebo from Monmouthshire Timber in Newport (at a generously discounted price) was purchased.  It is a wonderful 12 seater pavilion, with a ramp giving easy access for all.  Henry constructed the sturdy decking base  and ramp on the site of the Drum Tower near the main gate.  It was then a challenge for 6 students from Bristol University ( graduates in medicine, languages, and maths, and only one in engineering) to re-constuct the pavilion, a task they completed in 4 hours.
