#lksawaydays 4b/2020 Continuing to step back in time we travelled the short 5km journey to our 2nd castle as part of our Welsh castle double header at Dinefwr. Dinefwr Castle can be found within the 800 acre National Trust site of Dinefwr Park. Again a relatively small car park for an attraction of this size which includes the castle, Newton House, Deer Park and many wildlife walks including a Boardwalk as well as some of the oldest Oak trees in the UK. The inclusive price of £9.50 per adult was duly paid and we initially made a beeline for the ruins of Dinefwr Castle. The castle is believed to have been constructed under the instructions of Rhodri the Great and then rebuilt in the late 1100's by Rhys ap Gruffydd (Lord Rhys who built Carreg Cennen Castle) The castle has walkways which give superb views of Deer Park to the north and Towy Valley (and River Towy) to the west and south. After visiting the historic Welsh ruins we walked along a number of the trails before ending up at Newton House for a well earned coffee! #lksawaydays gives Dinefwr Castle and park a 👍

"I was just passing through on business, so did not have much time to check out the area. The Hotel was looking a bit tired & could do with freshening up a little. I was given room 18 which was tiny with the smallest bath/shower combo I have ever seen! The service & food are good here & the staff are really friendly.I could not use the hotel car park as it was full, however you can park nearby on the road overnight from 5.00pm until 9.00am."
