Timeline of Carreg Cennen Castle


Located on the edge of Brecon Beacons National Park, around 30 miles west of Brecon, the aging cliff-top fortress was constructed in the 12th century, and ancient remains of defenses were discovered dating back to the Iron Age. although a ruin, the castle has a somewhat intact barbican and a few inner chambers built from the bedrock. If you climb, trudging up a steep hill, you will be generously compensated with breathtaking views of the valley. Open daily 9:30 to 6:30. Ticket price: $8.
