Tretower Castle

A glimpse at this old castle ruin in the village of Tretower in Powys, Wales. We did try to find a possible entrance, to no avail. I think this might be the view from the back.
It was built around the beginning of the twelfth century as a motte and bailey castle and this was probably replaced mid-century by a stone shell keep. The castle was enlarged in the early thirteenth century, but later fell into ruin.
Another description reads: It was the creation of Sir Roger Vaughan and his descendants. During the Wars of the Roses Sir Roger became one of the most powerful men in Wales – and Tretower reflected his fame. It became a magnet for medieval Welsh poets who drank its fine wines and sang the praises of its generous host.
