Carreg Cennen Castle

Description: CARREG CENNEN CASTLE situated in the Brecon Beacons is situated in a magnificent location, on top of a limestone crag overlooking Black Mountain. The castle, over the centuries has been subject to warring forces and the weather! Not much is known before 1300 but in 1462 it was subject to an attack by 500 men with picks and crowbars, one wonders how they coped after climbing the steep hill! There is also a passageway cut into the cliff-face which leads to a natural cave, the assumption is that it was inhabited in prehistoric times.
