What a wasted opportunity!nnCarmarthen Castle could be an attractive focal point for the town — and to its credit, it does have plaques explaining what you're looking at, which many ruined castles don’t.nBut the whole place was filthy and felt completely neglected. It’s frustrating to see such a historic site treated like this.nA bit of pride in the heritage and some basic upkeep would make a huge difference.nSadly, the same sense of filth and disregard was obvious in many of the main towns across South and South West Wales.nnPlease note that the review below by another member showing a big castle is Caernarfon Castle, NOT Carmarthen Castle!
Carmarthen Castle is a ruined castle in Carmarthen, West Wales, UK. First built by Walter, Sheriff of Gloucester, in the early 1100s, the castle was captured and destroyed on several occasions before being rebuilt in stone during the 1190s. The castle was captured by Owain Glyndŵr in 1405.
To be honest, I expect more from the castle, but overall it's not a bad place to visit. It has a nice view.
Local parking, short walk to the main entrance, huge castle to walk around and filled with interesting items including a museum which is over a few different floors within the castle. Well worth a visit. We did it in a couple of hours but you could easily spend three to four hours in the castle.
It was a good but short experience. These external walls are incredibly well preserved and well worth visiting. They've gone out their way to create boards for information which the kids liked however there's nothing beyond the remaining outer walls so it's hard to envision how it once looked.nnThat being said if your in area pop in, make sure to park up in a car park not drive near it like we did and become stuck down narrow roads.
