A fortified manor house on the Gower peninsula, built to display status rather than withstand siege, overlooking the Loughor estuary. Entry is paid at the adjoining working farmhouse rather than a formal ticket office, which gives the whole visit an unusually informal, rural character.
Worth the trip
The estuary views from the ruin — reviewers rate the location as one of the best on Gower for the modest entry price.
Before you go
Parking is limited to a small handful of spaces a short walk from the castle, and you'll pay for entry at the farmhouse next door rather than at the site itself; there are no on-site facilities.
Reviewers consistently praise the estuary views and the small exhibition room covering local castle history, describing this as a quiet, appealing ruin reached via a working farmhouse. Parking is repeatedly noted as very limited, fitting only a handful of cars, though visitors don't report it being a problem since the site is rarely busy.
