Tips from locals
Beautiful views across the countryside, castle from the thirteen hundreds, free to pop in. Near to beautiful leafy valley walk below along a river with picturesque bridge.
Beautiful, quiet and historical picnic spot. Plenty of shaded areas. Free to enter and park. About 15mins from the van.
Technically a Bishop's Palace rather than a castle, this stunning ruin is situated on a steep hill overlooking the Cleddau Ddu (Eastern Cleddau). Some wonderful walks around here, but just parking in Llawhaden and walking a hundred metres or so down to the (usually open, free entry) castle is a trip well worth the making. There's a very high tower you can climb if you're brave but even the courtyard has stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
