Not much left of it, but some good information boards. Great ply Not bad for a quick visit with kids. There's a small kids park and it's close to shops and public toilets. The information regarding the ruins is very informative. Nice little ruin in the centre of the town. No doubt there are mightier castles in Wales but nevertheless, every ruin has its story and is worth while visiting. Crickhowell is a shadow of its former self! However there are interpretive boards which help you to imagine what it was like a long time ago. It is in a pleasant park area, ideal for children to play and is practically in the middle of the town. So ideal area to visit after lunch maybe. Mostly destroyed with the stones removed and used to build local houses generations ago, but what is left gives some idea of the scale of the original castle. A couple of tall and rather precarious looking sections remain, right next to a children's playground, so bring hard hats when you take your kids to play ;-) Not much of the left - just a couple of ruins here and there. There is nothing to see here. However if you are already in the lovely, pretty and charming town of Crickhowell, you might well pop in and spend a couple of minutes here to see the small ruin that remains. There is a cricket field, a small children's park and a lovely place to sit on the grass and relax near the ruins. There's not a lot left of this castle, but it's got a nice playground around it and has a good information panel. Ruins of a built in the 13th century by Sir Grimbald Pauncefote to keep the Welsh subdued after claiming their lands. It was originally a Norman motte and bailey fortification built of timber in the 12th century. You can climb the motte and look around at the incredible views as well as a second tower of the ruined castle. All that currently remains is a tower and partial gatehouse. Destroyed by Owain Glyndwr and his army. The is located in a public park with a children’s playground. Close to the amenities that a town centre brings. Parking is a bit tricky but manageable. Very nice Welsh ruin set in a public park. Easy to get to and walk around but not a lot to see other than a few walls. Well done interpretive signage. Ruins of an old motte and Bailey style castle. Pretty little town with parking, toilets and a carpark. And and information centre. Worth a visit as you head into the beacons Not much to see as most of the was destroyed but historic and peaceful nonetheless Pleasant site for a 5 minute leg stretch on the way past, but there's not a lot left of the castle. Good play area if you have kids A lovely little with helpful information boards - not a huge amount to see but worth visiting if you’re in the area. Beautiful and view. Lovely place for a picnic Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
