Carreg Cennen Castle - Exploring Welsh Castles
Carreg Cennen is a Welsh Castle with a spectacular clifftop location. It is is the Welsh Countryside on the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park near Llandeilo, north of Swansea #VisitWales #Castles
Some castle facts:
The castle is protected by limestone cliffs to the south and rock cut ditches to the west. To the north is an outer ward and within that a barbican.
The first masonry castle was built by Lord Rhys in the 12th century.
In 1277 the castle was captured by the English, recaptured by the Welsh in 1282 and the English again the following year. In 1283 Edward I graded the castle to John Gifford, the commander of the English troops.
Giffard was responsible for the remodelled castle as we see it today.
In 1461, during the Wars of the Roses, Carreg Cennen became a Lancastrian stronghold. A Yorkist force subsequently captured the castle.
The castle is now looked after by CADW who look after protected Welsh historic sites. At the time of our visit to the castle it costed £5.50 to enter.

Slideshow of Carreg Cennen Castle
One of the most spectacularly sited Welsh Castles is Carreg Cennen, located north of Swansea, a few miles south-east of Llandeilo on a minor road off the A483. Spell-binding views are waiting to be experienced from the sharp hilltop upon which the castle sits. Indeed, Carreg Cennen dominates its surroundings, and seems out of place in the mountainous farming terrain which it commands. The hedgerows along the minor approach road initially obscure views of the site, but suddenly the grey stone fortress springs into your line of sight, enticing you to hurry onwards.
The story of Carreg Cennen Castle is a long one, going back at least to the 13th century. There is archaeological evidence, however, that the Romans and prehistoric peoples occupied the craggy hilltop centuries earlier (a cache of Roman coins and four prehistoric skeletons have been unearthed at the site). Although the Welsh Princes of Deheubarth built the first castle at Carreg Cennen, what remains today dates to King Edward I`s momentous period of castle-building in Wales.
The most exciting feature at Carreg Cennen Castle awaits exploration at the south east corner of the inner ward. Here a steep set of steps leads down past a postern gate into the bowels of the castle, and beyond into a damp limestone cave. Your footing may become unsure as you travel deeper inside, and torches are a necessary aid, for the exterior world rapidly falls away into complete darkness. The bedrock is cut by several of these natural fissures, but only one was modified for use inside the castle. Much of the passageway was carefully lined with stone and the ceiling vaulted. A series of pigeon holes was built into the wall, forming a dovecote (to breed a winter food supply, or possibly to house homing pigeons).

You NEED TO VISIT WALES! | South West Wales Road Trip
Welcome to Wales everybody!! I think the theme of this South West Wales road trip is going to be...I didn't know Wales was this beautiful
On day one of Stephen's surprise birthday road trip we woke up in Brecon Beacon National Park where we give you a room tour of our van life campervan for the next few days.
After breakfast we head out to explore the National Park at Henrhyd Waterfall before heading to Carreg Cennen Castle to try our first Welsh Cawl to warm us up before climbing up to see the castle ruins.
Afterwards we made our way to One Cat Farm - the cutest little glamping spot - you all need to come here!! We even learnt how to run a campsite!
In the morning after having the most unique bath warmed by a fire, we headed off to explore more of Wales before stopping off at our final campsite - Three Cliffs Bay!
