Castle explorer
Castle explorer
Another morning out today - I took Matthew to two ruined castles within 20 minutes drive of each other, Dryslwyn Castle and Dinefwr Castle. Id not visited either castle before to my knowledge (I may have been to Dryslwyn when I was very young) and so it was an adventure for me as well.
Both castles required a steep climb, and Dinefwr especially took a while to reach from the car park. Matthew did well to make it to the top without much moaning, and we both felt tired by the end. We also made it to the top of the highest tower at Dinefwr - Dryslwyn doesnt have any accessible towers to speak of, but we were able to have a good explore there as well.
Matthews favourite castles so far have been Kidwelly and Carew Castle (which he visited with my parents), but he did enjoy Dinefwr which has run them close I think.
