Absolutely beautiful castle, the best views down over the amman valleys. I love this place. So picturesque,peacefull and quiet. Isn't as busy as other bigger castles but just as much worth a visit as those highly advertised castles

Easy to find, walk from car park was not far, it is steep and little bumpy. Castle is well worth the short walk and cave underneath it was extraordinary, recommend visiting, the £6.50 entry seemed reasonable for how long we spent there. We also did the circular castle walk, which was very easy follow as lots of way markers showing yellow or red castle walk symbols. Never saw a soul on the walk, most people just seem to visit castle and cafe. Cafe/Shop staff all very friendly and helpful, cottage pie was a little disappointing but that may be my preference of how I like it.

Beautiful castle with great views. Only downside is the walk to and from the castle, there’s no footpath and it’s just a grassy hill so it’s very slippy when wet (which it almost always is in Wales!) Be prepared for this, we came with young children and I was terrified! Other than that, all good.

Come early as you will have a view on the castle and it surroundings for yourself. The castle itself is really pretty and the views around the castle are absolutely stunning. My highlight of the castle was the very long and dark cave (make sure to have a flashlight)- After visiting the castle i went on a beautiful circular hike, which is well marked, for about two hours. You will have the most beautiful view of the castle for different angles whilst at the same time enjoy fantastic scenery from the area. Make sure to have proper boots. part of the hike goes through muddy fields.

Well worth the travel! Been to a lot of castles and this one is great, amazing view of the castle and from the castle. We arrived late in the day and had about 45 mins to look around which was plenty. We had the place to ourselves. The staff at the shop were friendly also

Carreg Cennen Castle is erected sometime after 1284 by baron John Giffard and his son on the site of an earlier Welsh fortification. In 1462 Carreg Cennen flies the Lancastrian flag. Taken on behalf of the Yorkist king Edward IV it is slighted by pick and crowbar, ending its life as a stronghold. * Carreg Cennen castle is spectacularly located on a great limestone crag about 90m above the river Cennen, offering views miles around. Visitors can discover the stronghold with the help of an information leaflet. There are also a few information panels and reconstruction drawings on site. Although battered the layout of the castle can still clearly be made out with a kitchen, a great hall and private rooms for the lord and his family. The gatehouse and barbicane are gutted but once boasted three drawbridges, two sets of double doors and two portculises. No tower platforms or wallwalks can be scaled. A gallery provides access to a natural cave underneath the castle. The surface is slippery and uneven and the passage is sometimes low and narrow. Therefore a torch is required to wander around. Clearly pigeons were held here and there is a constant dripping of water but the exact purpose of the cave remains shrouded in history.

Castle is as it is, but we visited the tea room as had seen good reviews. Now the building itself is quirky bit goodness what an appalling welcome! Honestly felt like we were intruding. Tried to make pleasant conversation but it was a waste of time. Carrot cake dry, only saving grace was the Bara Brith! We ate up and left.
