Last July we visited an old castle ruin in Wales. There is little there now but the ancient foundations, steps, low walls and one or two things like this. ‘Castell y Bere is a Welsh castle near Llanfihangel-y-pennant in Gwynedd, Wales. Constructed by Llywelyn the Great in the 1220s, the stone castle was intended to maintain his authority over the local people and to defend the south-west part of the princedom of Gwynedd’ Enjoy full screen Have a good weekend.

Another shot from within the old ruined castle grounds this time SW towards the coast and the pointed hill of Birds Rock. Pips of Birds Rock and the castle. HWW, have a great day.

A short drive inland from the seaside resort of Tywyn sits the ruins of Castle Bere upon an impressive hill. Now a sorry shadow of its former glory but still a joy to explore. ‘Castell y Bere is a Welsh castle near Llanfihangel-y-pennant in Gwynedd, Wales.
