This castle is 5 miles from my house





It was built in the time of Edward 1st,
But before that the Welsh princes of Deheubarth had a castle there.





I took these photos this afternoon on my way from the recycling tip.
There were snowdrops in all the hedgerows and fields.

Isnt it amazing how some of these castles are standing after all this time. Makes a mockery of our building techniques doesnt it. How lovely that you have all these fantastic views Hywel.....

I lived for 20 yrs in an old cottage with crooked walls and sloping floors It was nearly 200 years old and I think it will still be standing when today's houses have all fallen down
Yes the castles are even older

Your country has a rich history which until now fascinates many of us.

We don't do too badly in our area too....with lots of castles around here too. That one however does stand out beautifully....very picturesque indeed, Hywel.
I agree about buildings nowadays...my old cottage here was built in 1865 and I would hate to live in a new-build!!
