Very fine example of a Motte and Bailey castle, a little hidden away from the road. Parking straightforward close to the nearby church, but then it was a muddy field to cross to get to the steps up to the castle. No cattle on the day we visited. Charming ruin, very pleased we visited.
Ruins are great for a brief look. Notice board informative and steps good to climb up. We parked by the church which had a little space. However, we had our dog with us and the field to get to the castle was full of bullocks with no warning or signs.. so we didn’t truly enjoy our experience as they were so interested in us!
An interesting place to visit, not a lot left, the moat can be seen with the remains of the keep, you can park by the church which is about 2/3 mins walk away.
Nice little castle. Worth a visit if you are in the area. Really just a single tower on a hill but interesting all the same.
The best example of a motte and bailey castle that we've seen in Wales. There's not a ton left to see, but after visiting several other ruins of motte and bailey castles, this was the most complete and most illustrative of what those types of constructions looked like. Definitely worth a visit!
You can park across the road by the Church and Phonebox. Not suitable for a pushchair I wouldn't say to get to the Castle but I'm sure if you want you can. The Castle has a lot of steps going up but they've added a handrail to make it easier! It's a nice little Castle to chill in and not often you'll bump into people so it's very peaceful. Been many times and will continue to visit!
Lovely place to visit with beautiful views, not an awful lot to see and steps are very steep. Parking at the church opposite is very limited
Awesome example of Motte and Bailey. Don't let the photos fool you. This site is huge. Highly recommend
