A site long in history, Carreg Cennen Castle is just north of Swansea, and south east of Llandeilo. Built on a hilltop, first occupied by Iron Age man, then the Romans, before the Welsh Princes of Deheubarth built the first actual castle at Carreg Cennen.

Today it is owned by the Reformed Cistercian Order, who devote their lives to the service of god within the walls of the whitewashed monastery which dominates the village green. A day out on Caldey will reward the more thoughtful holidaymaker with memories of a deeper and more lasting kind.

Castel Coch - Cardiff |
Possibly one of the most striking landmarks in Glamorgan, Castell Coch emerges from its veil of greenery like a 3D image from a pop-up book of fairy tales. Elevated on a natural limestone ledge, the castle's round red-brick towers topped by their silvery grey conical roofs can be seen from the main M4 motorway.
Despite the fact that Castell Coch was never used as a permanent residence, no expense was spared on the lavish decorations or the exquisite furnishings. Romanticised, gothicised, and with hints of Oriental and Moorish architecture, the castle was a fantastical vision built to satisfy a rich man's indulgence. Ironically, it was used by the military during World War II but soon afterwards the fifth Marquis of Bute placed Castell Coch under the protection of the Government body responsible for conservation. |
