Fascinating to visit. The ruins are not as good as others we have visited but the tunnels and are certainly unique and the visit. As well great and a good around the base of the cliff there were spiders and Herald moth to be seen below the castle. As I live in the area, I have visited Carreg Cennen a number of times over the years. Originally, it was free to visit, but now costs £7. There is a free car park with a cafe/restaurant (The Barn). It appears to be a very popular attraction these days, and the structure has been well maintained. It's a nice brisk up, and you are rewarded with spectacular all around. Don't miss the in the depths of the castle, but watch your head and it can be slippery underfoot (you will need a mobile phone torch 🔦). Well a visit. Nice on top of a hill. The from there are so and is very peaceful. The only dowside is the price, £7 per adult is quite high to the some ruins I love the solitude and serenity of this place on a warm summer afternoon truly wonderful part of Wales Amazing castle, full of information. Very friendly staff selling tickets,yummy cakes and drinks. Would definitely recommend buying a ticket to see the and the 50m into the passageway and cave. Lovely day out in countryside. Well recommended. A majestic 13th Century ruin with amazing across Carmarthenshire. Free parking and the entrance fee is £7. There is a lovely and gift shop. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. The trek up to the is pretty steep so sensible shoes are required. There are caves under the Castle, but access is very slippery and a torch would be recommended. A must if you love Castles in countryside. Fab with all the trimmings 😄 So so beautiful!! Popped here this afternoon no walking gear I may add and it was stunning the roads to the are very tight and narrow but it’s so it. There’s a decent sized car park and a at the bottom. Lovely up I did with my dog as its dog friendly and only £7 entry for an adult well it for the and the Great value for money. Lovely and the tunnel was an added treat! Absolutely love that health and safety hasn't ruined the experience by putting barriers and fences up at every danger point. It actually felt real. The cost wasn't high and the chap in the ticket booth was very friendly and helpful. A lovely little around the (that's free) The little and shop is also nice. Although the handwritten signs forbidding you from using the toilet unless you're a customer feels harsh and unfriendly to visitors. Amazing on the top of a hill with marvellous over the surrounding countryside. Stunning ruins with incredible of the valley all around you. Not only do you get to witness the breathtaking scenery from up high, but you also get to travel down below into the caves! Take lots of care while you're here, as the only staff on site is down at the ticket hut. When you're up on the cliffs or down in the caves, you have to look out for yourself and be very careful. Some of the steps in the are slippery and the ceiling can be low in places, plus it's very dark so bringing your own lighting is essential. The and giftshop by the car park was lovely, we very much enjoyed the cakes there. It's a great place to with great Amazing landscape and castle, just down the hill for refreshments My favourite since childhood, it never fails to inspire me with its breathtaking views, fairytale charm and its awe inspiring cave. A hidden gem that thankfully isn’t an overrun tourist trap means that you can enjoy the and its surrounding areas in peace and quiet and truly soak up the atmosphere. The of course is atop a stunning cliff edge which means it’s a bit of a hike, with plenty of steps in the and some very steep ones going down into the it is of course one to take on only if you feel you are mobile enough. Wheelchair users and those with pushchairs would find it impossible as access from the ticket box to the has no path, up a steep hill and entry into the is via steps. The is surrounded by quintessential Welsh nature, including some very friendly neighbours, a herd of sheep who are free to roam about around the castle. So there is of course plenty of their droppings, so make sure you bring wellies or hiking boots that you’re happy to get a bit messy. You don’t want to navigate the mine field in your best trainers! All in all I have never found any negatives when it comes to Carreg Cennen castle, it is the most and charming to me, I always love approaching the and seeing it emerge on the horizon atop the cliff edge like something out of a fairytale book. It deserves more attention, but at the same time in some ways I hope it never gets discovered by any “influencers” and becomes overrun. The peace of Carreg Cennen is part of its charm, there’s nothing like sitting atop the cliff after exploring the and just looking out over the breathtaking view, in the quiet and surrounded by nature and just feeling a wonderful sense of peace. The most picturesque I have ever seen. If you enjoy visiting castles, this must be top of your bucket list. A short uphill but to the with Red Kites circling above and a plethora of bronze age burial chambers onto of the opposite ridge, the area is dripping in pre-history. Take a torch with you and you will be able to explore the mysterious ancient cavern beneath the castle. I would recommend a quick refresh on medieval Welsh history before you to fully contextualise the castle. The druve to the was really picturesque. The car park had plenty of space and the was very nice with good staff, and great views. The up to the entry point for the was a nice steady incline. The entry fee was the rest of the yo the castle, again great and places in the yo explore. Also a into the was well it. It is a very steep steps and slope descent down and back up if you have the legs snd footwear for it. Wildromantische Ruine auf einer hohen Klippe. Sagenhaften Rundblick. Einfacher kurzer Weg vom Parkplatz zur Burg.
