Carreg Cennen Castle

The well preserved ruins of the castle of Carreg Cennen occupy a spectacular location atop a cliff from where they dominate the surroundings, looking out to Black Mountain. The climb to the castle is well worth the view. It is now under the stewardship of Cadw: Welsh Historic Monuments. The story of Carreg Cennen Castle is a long one, going back at least to the 13th century. There is much to explore with the gatehouse, drawbridge and deep pits still visible and a vaulted passage and a natural cave lie beneath the castle.
