We came for the siege but arrived too late. So instead we just did a tour of Weobley Castle. The exhibition room provided a great deal on information regarding the history of the area and the castle. Outstanding views of the estuary!
Small ruined castle with superb views overlooking a vast expanse of salt marsh. Limited parking, but not a problem, and I visited in school holidays. An exhibition room gives information about castles across Gower. I would have liked more information boards around the castle to give me information about each part. Facilities are just toilets and a small farm shop that sells ice cream and lamb. There are no gifts or guide books.
On the northern part of the Gower Peninsula Weobley Castle was built as a fortified manor house overlooking the Loughor estuary. The original construction dates from the early 1300s and was built for de la Bere family who were stewards to the lord's of Gower. From the outside parts look as if you move in now, although it is actually in ruinous condition. In its prime it must have provided comfortable living, both for the delay la Beres and Sir Rhys ap Thomas who owned it later. The accommodation included the large main hall above the kitchen, private rooms, the entrance to which is through a two-story entrance. Parts, including the turrets facing the marshes were built to be impressive, but mainly contained latrines. The views over the salt marshes and estuary are impressive, with benches available to relax. The large farmhouse which collects fees (free to Cadw members) sells local Welsh lamb. There are toilets, however it is a pity that there are no refreshments facilities. Car parking space is available but limited. I really enjoyed my visit, particularly as in ways it was different from the 'standard' castle ruins. Well worth a visit - I will return.
Lovely spot, with views across the estuary from the seats outside. Small castle, with just the north section in fair condition. A couple of floors can be visited, and there's an exhibition about the local castles in one room. No facilities, other than a picnic table inside the castle, and 2 seats outside. Tickets from the farmhouse nearby, where you can also buy meat from the sheep kept on the saltmarsh. Only a small parking area near the castle, but it wasn't busy. Easy access across the grass, which is mown by the farmer.
Great hidden gem, lovely views and we had a farm dog welcome us. These little parking but wasn't busy at all, there is spaces for 2 or 3 cars just a short walk away. You have to pop by a farm house for entry. The views are beautiful and the ruin has a good amount to walk around, plus a room with details of the history along with other ruined castles in the area.
