Carmarthen is a ruined in Carmarthen, West Wales, UK. First built by Walter, Sheriff of Gloucester, in the early 1100s, the was captured and destroyed on several occasions before being rebuilt in stone during the 1190s. The was captured by Owain Glyndŵr in 1405. Small part left of this but to visit . Lovely views from the side A short uphill from train station. We had one hour wait for train connection and decided to go up to grounds. We did not go in the castle. You have a aerial view of surroundings. There are also informative placards. If you go from train station give enough time for the crosswalk you need to use. It’s an odd 4 point crosswalk and takes longer to wait for the green sign than it actually takes to up the hill. On the opposite side of there is a bricked plaza with shops and a place to take a drink if you have the time. If you are driving beware of limited parking. We were there mid week and noticed available parking spaces right there. What a wasted opportunity! Carmarthen could be an attractive focal point for the town — and to its credit, it does have plaques explaining what you're looking at, which many ruined castles don’t. But the whole place was filthy and felt completely neglected. It’s frustrating to see such a historic site treated like this. A bit of pride in the heritage and some basic upkeep would make a huge difference. Sadly, the same sense of filth and disregard was obvious in many of the main towns across South and South West Wales. Please note that the review below by another member showing a big is Caernarfon Castle, NOT Carmarthen Castle! Only viewed from outside as mobility not too good to manage steps to go inside. Not much of the life but a lovely town to around lots of history there x A small part of the original castle. They demolished the rest to build the county buildings many years ago! Good interactive info points and great views. Picnic tables with awnings outside. Free to enter, its less of a these days and more of a wall. There are some interesting boards relating to the history of the castle/Carmarthen but there is not a full on castle. Its free to enter and we were able to take our dogs with us. I wouldn't make a specific trip there but as part of a trip to the town it's worth a look Local parking, short to the main entrance, huge to around and filled with interesting items including a museum which is over a few different floors within the castle. Well worth a visit. We did it in a couple of hours but you could easily spend three to four hours in the castle. To be honest, I expect more from the castle, but overall it's not a bad place to visit. It has a view. It was closed so can’t rate it. No signage for opening time either! It is in a very pretty town centre that is to around.
