A sleepy village near
Llanelli, Kidwelly is dominated by the ruins
of an immense Norman castle built in the 12th
century by the Bishop of Salisbury. Below it
runs the River Gwenddraeth. The castle was
besieged in 1136 by Grufyddd ap Rhys ap Tewdwr
whose princess, Gwenllian, was killed in the
battle. The village also boasts a medieval
bridge and town gate. |
