As ruined castles go, this one is nothing special, however, its superb seaside location and proximity to and association with Dylan Thomas and his Boathouse give it a different twist.

Best part of the Castle I thought was the view from the top of the tower as you can see the small town and up the estuary. The part I enjoyed most was walking the short distance to Mr Dylans Boat house. The views of the estuary are inspiring. More
