St Quentins Castle, Llanblethian
Recommended by
Overview
Mainly early 14th-century remains of a large courtyard castle. Some historians believe that the castle was never fully completed, as its builder Gilbert de Clare, 8th Earl of Gloucester, was killed at the Battle of Bannockburn. The castle may have been ruined since the mid-18th century. Photo credit: © Crown copyright (2015) Cadw
