Pennard Castle
Castle
👍👍 Great place to see the ruins of this castle. Not far from the beach. If you park in the National Trust Car Park (51.5669784685482, -4.087802527772103) you can walk the beach to here but it's a hard climb or you may walk back along the road to the Golf Course and cross there. Use the paths and try no...

👍 A lovely baby castle, or at least it felt that way. We ambled along a well made up path from parking further down the road, over some wooden bridges, through a wood full of spring flowers, rabbits, and birdsong. We didn't see another soul. The castle is a tiny stone built thing on a big motte with a...
