Lllanblethian is a quaint and picturesque village that sits above the River Thaw in the Vale of Glamorgan.

It's an ancient village, outdating the nearby market town of Cowbridge, and hosting a number of beautiful historic buildings. The village is home to St Quentin's Castle, a 14th-century castle perched upon a hill, a church that dates back to the 12th-century dedicated to St John the Baptist, and an early 18th-century great house that sits along the river.

Quentin's Castle, also known as Llanblethian Castle was probably built by English nobleman and military commander Gilbert de Clare in the early 14th century, the most notable remnants of this castle are its huge, twin-towered gatehouse and high stretch of curtain wall on the north of the site. In the centre of what was once a large fortress is an earthen mound with the remains of a thick-walled building on top of it, which may be all that’s left of an earlier keep.
Links to Caerphilly Castle too - see plaque in the gatehouse.
