This wall extends from the castle and has stone carvings of various animals which would have been very exotic when it was created. Much fun 🙂

Not much remains of what was once the highest castle in England and Wales, but it is still an atmospheric place with great views.

Really nice walk

A visit to the ruins currently costs £6.50. Beautiful views over the bay from the tower.

800 year old remains of a Norman motte and bailey castle in a pleasant community play park.

Built in 1280, this castle has a fascinating life story. It is the second largest castle and grounds in UK, slightly smaller than Windsor castle. The water defenses are now home to plenty of birds and the grounds offer fantastic views of this stunning castle

Wow just wow, didn’t expect the cave below the castle !!!

Tucked away in a dreamy, isolated location in the upper Swansea Valley, Craig-y-nos Country Park is a gorgouous 40-acre park that was once owned by Adelina Patti. Now it is a Victorian garden set in woodlands, surrounded by meadows and ponds, dissected by the River Tawe. It is in a gorgeous location, and there is a great cafe there to boot.

Well worth a visit, so much history there.

Carreg Cennen Castle is erected sometime after 1284 by Baron John Giffard and his son on the site of an earlier Welsh fortification. In 1462, Carreg Cennen flies the Lancastrian flag. Taken on behalf of the Yorkist king Edward IV, it is slighted by pick and crowbar, ending its life as a stronghold. Carreg Cennen castle is spectacularly located on a great limestone crag about 90m above the river Cennen, offering views miles around.

Ruin of a late thirteenth-century castle, on a limestone rock where there may already have been a fort in the Iron Age. The earliest castle was most likely the work of the dynasty of Welsh princes. The oldest found written mention of the castle dates "only" from 1248 when Rhys Fychan (died 1271), great-grandson of Lord Rhys, conquered the castle from the English. In 1277 the castle was captured by Edward I of England in his first campaign against Llewelyn ap Gruffudd of Gwynedd (died 1282).[1] The castle was briefly reconquered in 1282 and 1287. In 1282–83 Edward I completed his conquest of Wales and granted Carreg Cennen Castle in 1283 to his loyal supporter John Giffard (d. 1299), baron of Brimpsfield (Gloucestershire). The current castle was most likely built by Baron Giffard and his son John (died 1322), not too long after 1284. Being a resident of Ghent myself, I thought it was a nice fact that the castle was in the hands of John of Gaunt (yes, John of Gaunt), Duke of Lancaster, for a while in the 14th century. During the War of the Roses (1455-1485), Carreg Cennen Castle was initially in Lancaster hands, but was later conquered by the York supporters. In the late 18th century the castle became popular among amateur archaeologists and artists, with William Turner visiting the castle in 1798. In the 19th century the second Earl of Cawdor began restoration work on Carreg Cennen Castle. In 1932 the castle came under state management. In the 1960s the castle became the property of the Morris family, owners of the Castell Farm farm near the castle. Source: Wikipedia The castle can be visited 364 days of the year. Just not on Christmas Day. 9:30 am - 4:30 pm (from April to October until 5:00 pm) The ticket desk is located at the tea room / gift shop ("downstairs", where the parking is also located).

The centuries-old St Davids Cathedrale, built on the site of a much older religious building, is the reason for the small town of St Davids' preeminent status. Constructed of dark purple sandstone, the sacred building is one of Wales' most famous religious sites. It is tucked away in a sheltered valley on the Alun River. Here you can learn about the history of St. Davids, visit the Treasury and enjoy home-cooked and local food in The Refectory in a welcoming atmosphere. I think it's worth a visit!

The ruins of the Gothic Episcopal Palace lie across the river from the cathedral and provide a good backdrop for open-air theater performances in the summer. Bishop Henry de Gower's legacy consists of the simpler east wing (his private quarters) and the larger south wing built for banquets in the great hall.
