Very nice Welsh castle ruin set in a public park. Easy to get to and walk around but not a lot to see other than a few walls. Well done interpretive signage.

Worth a visit as you head into the beacons
Not much to see as most of the castle was destroyed but historic and peaceful nonetheless
Review from Google Places
Ruins of a castle built in the 13th century by Sir Grimbald Pauncefote to keep the Welsh subdued after claiming their lands.
It was originally a Norman motte and bailey fortification built of timber in the 12th century. You can climb the motte and look around at the incredible views as well as a second tower of the ruined castle. All that currently remains is a tower and partial gatehouse. Destroyed by Owain Glyndwr and his army.
The castle is located in a public park with a children’s playground. Close to the amenities that a town centre brings. Parking is a bit tricky but manageable.
Review from Google Places
Not much of the castle left – just a couple of ruins here and there. There is nothing to see here. However if you are already in the lovely, pretty and charming town of Crickhowell, you might well pop in and spend a couple of minutes here to see the small ruin that remains.
There is a cricket field, a small children’s park and a lovely place to sit on the grass and relax near the ruins.
Review from Google Places
Mostly destroyed with the stones removed and used to build local houses generations ago, but what is left gives some idea of the scale of the original castle. A couple of tall and rather precarious looking sections remain, right next to a children’s playground, so bring hard hats when you take your kids to play 😉
