Kidwelly Castle

“A fantastic castle to visit and one of the best-preserved castles in Wales. Entry was very reasonably priced, and if you book your tickets online in advance, you can also save 5%, which is a nice bonus. There was plenty to explore, with much of the castle being easily accessible. You can also climb up and walk around the upper walls, which provide excellent views of the surrounding area. On arrival, we were given a map highlighting key areas of the castle, which was very useful. There are several information boards around the site explaining its history. However, I think the experience could be improved with additional signage in some areas. There were a number of clearly defined rooms and sections of the castle that looked fascinating, but there was little or no information explaining what they would have been used for. The staff in the visitor reception and gift shop were very friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the start. There’s also a lovely picnic area within the castle grounds, making it an ideal spot to stop for lunch. Overall, it’s a beautifully preserved castle with a fascinating history, and I’d highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area.”

There is so much to explore, from the impressive stone walls and towers to the hidden passageways and different levels of the castle. Walking around really gives you a sense of what life would have been like centuries ago. The views from the castle are lovely, and there are plenty of interesting features to discover, making it enjoyable for both adults and children. The site is peaceful, full of character, and perfect for anyone who enjoys history, photography, or simply exploring somewhere unique. A fascinating place to visit and well worth the trip. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.”

“It's a castle 🏰. You can explore almost all of it if fit. The ground level is accessible to all, including dogs. You can look up the history of the site on the Cadw website before visiting or just follow the information sheet available at reception. Great for kids of all ages. See if you can sort which films this has been featured in. Free parking outside for thirteen cars with two EV charge points. Also consider the Moathouse restaurant for lunch, pricey but good. If you're a member of Cadw or English Heritage entry to the castle is free. Otherwise check online as pre bought tickets save a little.”
