Llantrisant Castle

Castle

👍👍 Went on a ghost walk around the town and was amazed with the grizzly history of the place. Didn't even know it had a castle and I lived close by. A very friendly and quirky place, but also lovely to just sit and relax in the grounds around it. The full history can be found in the Guild Hall, which... People often mention castle,

    Went on a ghost walk around the town and was amazed with the grizzly history of the place. Didn't even know it had a castle and I lived close by. A very friendly and quirky place, but also lovely to just sit and relax in the grounds around it. The full history can be found in the Guild Hall, which is free, and reputed to be very haunted to 👻. Parking is not easy but still worth a visit.

    Just one crumbling tower remaining but "A City That Is Set On An Hill Cannot Be Hid". Two goats to enjoy the grass and the view - also available to humans. The recently restored Guildhall next door is also well worth a visit, with displays of the history of the village, its connections to the Battle of Crecy and its famous, former, occupant Dr William Price. The photos show a little of the Medieval Festival that was part of the grand opening of the newly restored Guildhall.

    Not all of the castle is standing, but the structure left standing is glorious. The main part is opposite the Guild Hall. Other parts can be seen by going down the steps and follow the path around, where views of Llantrisant are visible. Continue up the steps the opposite side and other views of the castle keeps giving.

    Nice little castle, not much left though similar to Crickhowell Castle with just that ruined tower left. I quite like the museum/guildhall as well.

    Went to see 'the wind in the willows' there. Had a good time, great views

    Small castle with one remaining tower left standing. Worth a visit to Llantrisant guild Hall at the same time so check opening times before visiting.

    Amazing historical feature of the old town of Llantrisant. Actually visited the castle on a ghost walk of the town which was very informative of the history of the castle and the working of the town through the ages. I would highly recommend going to see the castle and going on the ghost walk if possible.

    I lived here in the mid 90's and had a flying visit. Nice to see there's not been too much change and still retains the beautiful character.
