Beaufort Castle
Beaufort Castle is an atmospheric, medieval ruin, great fun to explore. Only partially restored, it is roofless but has impressive towers, a well and a dungeon with torture equipment, including the rack. Dating from the mid 12th Century, the castle was enlarged in 1380 and 1500. At one time, it had a moat. Located slightly west of the village, the castle is usually illuminated in the evening during the summer months.
