Castell Carreg Cennen - a photo on Flickriver

Castell Carreg Cennen

The wonderful hilltop castle of Carreg Cennen as viewed from the approaching path. There is evidence of ancient occupation of the hilltop, but the existing castle was probably built in the late twelfth century and then remodelled in the late thirteenth century following Edward I's conquest of Wales.

The castle resisted attack by Owain Glyndwr in 1403 and was then largely dismantled in 1461 during the War of the Roses when Yorkists defeated the Lancastrian defenders.

It now has a decent teashop that serves a very good bara brith.
