Kidwelly Castle

Location: Castle Road, Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire SA17 5BQ

If you want a truly medieval moment, catch a glimpse of Kidwelly Castle shrouded in early morning mist. It is so complete and well-preserved it’s a match for any of the great castles of Wales.

The earliest castle on the site was Norman and made of earth and timber. The town itself is equally ancient, established around AD 1115. By the time the 13th century had come along, the castle had been rebuilt in stone, following the half-moon shape taken by the Normans. The Chaworth family built the compact but powerful inner ward and the castle was later modified by the Earls of Lancaster.
