Castles to visit Llandeilo

Although in ruins, Carreg Cennen Castle still boasts numerous passageways and rooms, as well as the remains of towers and ramparts. As much for its historical interest as for its strategic location on a sheer cliff overlooking the surrounding Brecon Beacons park, the castle is well worth a visit. At the far end of the inner courtyard, on the left, don't miss the passageway to the cellars, which will take you deep into the castle, to the passages dug into the rock and said to be haunted.

From Llandeilo, you can explore the ruins of Dinefwr Castle (approx. 2 km from the town center, leaving your car in the parking lot and completing the journey on foot). Overlooking the River Tywi, you'll discover the remains of the great hall, residential apartments, square towers and ramparts characteristic of the place and of Welsh medieval architecture. The parkland you walk through to reach the castle also holds many secrets, and don't hesitate to pass through the deer park on the way.
