Castell Carreg Cennen

Brilliant castle. I have been wanting to go for years and it did not disappoint. Great cafe by the entrance , stiff walk up a rocky hill.and s superbly located castle. Don't miss the tunnel and cave over the cliff down to the river and the view over the romantic Black mountain in the distance.

Really really enjoyed visiting this castle for the first time since I was a child. Beautiful castle and surrounding countryside. Parking was good, plenty of space. Excellent facilities, great cafe and food. Could have spent a fortune in the gift shop, it was well stocked. All of the staff were super and really kind. Good for dogs on leads. Had a great day here. If you go down into the cave, be aware it is slippery in places. Can't wait to go back. Thank you for the extra coffee 👍🙂

The castle is well worth a visit. The setting, views and general ambience are very special indeed. Recommend the Red Castle circular walking trail which starts at the castle and is a lovely walk through limestone country. Along the way you get to see Carreg Cennen from many angles so you appreciate it's strategic importance. The castle cafe and gift shop are definitely worth a visit. Good food!

Views are absolutely excellent from the castle & surrounding grounds. Staff were friendly and I think the ticket price of £6.50 is reasonable as there's some lovely places to sit down and relax. The member of staff who sold us tickets was also extra lovely to us! There are also a few plaques about the history of the castle which was nice but didn't feel overloaded with information.

Nice little walk up to the castle with great views. Must have been an amazing sight in its day perched high on its rocky outcrop. Loved the passage down to the 'cave' which gets pitch black! Take a torch if you can.

This was a great castle to visit and the cave was really spooky! After visiting the castle we went for a hike around the area and offered views from a distance. Ended the visit with a stop at the cafe. Great day out!

One of the most interesting castles in Wales due to its prominent position and amazing views. Perched on the top of a hill with 360⁰ views around the surrounding valleys and mountains, its a place well worth visiting. There is a free car park which can get busy, then a footpath up to the castle. You walk through a farm which has a cafe, then up the hill where halfway is where you pay. Fortunately cards are accepted as well as cash. It's about an hour to visit and explore the castle and area, a little more time if you wish to venture down in to the cave below the castle.

Like almost all castles I ever seem to visit...Epic! Another quite well preserved castle in the area and this one has a very unusual feature....a steep descent into a cave which is double epic...can be a bit slippery on a wet day but who cares...slide on your bum into the depths and explore. Nice walk upto the castle and a tearoom at the bottom for a food cuppa and scone.
