HORSES AT CENNEN CASTLE, A SITE FIRST USED BY STONE AGE MAN, THEN THE ROMANS BEFORE THE WELSH PRINCES BUILT A CASTLE ON THE NATURALLY FORTIFIED HILL TOP. THE CASTLE IS IN A BEAUTIFUL AND SPECTACULAR LOCATION WITH SUPERB VIEWS OVER THE WELSH COUNTRYSIDE AND IS PROBABLY ONE OF EUROPES MOST MAGNICENT RUINED CASTLES WITH A ROMANTIC SETTING AND HISTORY. MOST LIKELY THE CURRENT CASTLE WAS BUILT BY LORD RHYS IN THE TWELFTH CENTURY, BUT WAS PARTLY DEMOLISHED NOT BY A SIEGE BUT 500 WORKMEN WITH PICS AND CROWBARS DURING THE WARS OF THE ROSES. THE CASTLE IS NOW OWNED BY A FARMING FAMILY WHO OBTAINED IT BY ACCIDENT WHEN THE PREVIOUS OWNER, CAWDOR ESTATES ( OF SHELESPEARES THANE OF CAWDOR ) SOLD THE FARM AND ERROONOUSLY INCLUDED THE CASTLE ! THE CASTLE IS SITUATED NORTH OF Swansea ABOUT 5 MILES FROM LLANDEILO
