LAUGHARNE CASTLE

Facing the Taf River, Laugharne Castle is a medieval castle built at the beginning of the 12th century, then transformed into a luxurious Elizabethan mansion by Sir John Perrot, the supposed illegitimate son of Henry VIII and half brother of Elizabeth ^I. In 1644, during the Civil War, the castle was taken by Cromwell's supporters. Today, it is nothing more than romantic ruins surrounded by secular cedars. But it is a pleasant visit that offers a beautiful view as it overlooks the estuary of the Taf River. Be careful, it's closed in the winter.
