LAUGHARNE CASTLE
Castles to visit
Read moreFacing the Taf River, Laugharne Castle is a medieval castle built at the beginning of the 12th century, then transformed into a luxurious Elizabethan mansion by Sir John Perrot, the supposed illegitimate son of Henry VIII and half brother of Elizabeth I. In 1644, during the Civil War, the castle was taken by Cromwell's supporters. Today, it is nothing more than romantic ruins surrounded by secular cedars. But it is a pleasant visit that offers a beautiful view as it overlooks the estuary of the Taf River. Be careful, it's closed in the winter.
