SWANSEA CASTLE

(4.9 Score)
8 Castle Street, Swansea SA1 1DW, UK Directions

Since 1107

Speciality:

✓ Great Hall ✓ Walking ✓ Monument ✓ Workhouse ✓ Walls ✓ Drinks ✓ Heritage Site ✓ Fountain ✓ Events

“Swansea Castle is a historic castle founded by Henry de Beaumont. The castle's information centre provides a range of information about the city and the court. You can also see the eye-catching scenery around the castle. Swansea Castle is an essential part of the city centre and offers exclusive views of the surrounding areas. Swansea Castle is now so hemmed in by modern buildings and roads that it is hard to imagine its original surroundings or form. Unfortunately, the castle was ruined, and only two blocks remained. The court was reconstructed in 2010 and opened for public use. Visitors can even explore a lot of exciting places around Swansea Castle.

2025 Update: Dogs are welcome at Swansea Castle, with access to ground-floor levels and facilities.”

OYSTERMOUTH CASTLE REVIEWS

12th century built by the Normans castle which is mostly intact to the point where you can go up to the ramparts. There is a small fee to enter but it's worth it. Situated in mumbles which is just outside Swansea and on the gateway to Gower.

Nice little castle above the town of Mumbles. Great views from the castle curtain wall looking out across Mumbles and Swansea Bay. Lots of ruined rooms to explore, with plenty of spiral stsircases and rooms with great vaulted ceilings. Friendly staff.

Very pretty castle, learnt lots about the history. Staff were helpful and it was much bigger than expected with views of the sea. Visited on a weekday and it was quiet. The castle is dog friendly so will definitely be taking my dog next time.

SWANSEA CASTLE REVIEWS

To be honest it should be more about Castle Square than the actual Castle itself. There is not much left to see but the best part about visiting is, apart from the obvious old & new photo opportunity, is the gorgeous Castle Square with it's magnificent fountain and waterfall features. On a lovely sunny afternoon the sun bathed steps heading up to the castle from the square are a beautiful place to sit, enjoy and relax in the while visiting Swansea and all it has to offer.

Brings back memories, used to go here all the time as a teenager. Never really paid much attention to it. Nice to see it now as an adult, and appreciate it more. It is strange having a castle ruin in the middle of a city, but nice in a way with the old and new together. Well worth a visit.

Swansea Castle is located in the city centre of Swansea, Wales, UK. It was founded by Henry de Beaumont in 1107 as the caput of the lordship of Gower. The castle is now ruined and only two blocks remain, though the site has been improved in the 2010s for use as a public space, it still is a beautiful sight to behold.

DYLAN THOMAS CENTRE REVIEWS

Excellent! Fascinating with some awesome artefacts to boot! The 2 friendly ladies who work there were really informed and knowledgeable about Dylan and were more than helpful while happily sharing their obvious passion for the man of words. A visit here is highly recommended. Top stuff!

We have visited Swansea so many times and had never been into this lovely little museum dedicated to Swansea's favourite son. The Castles in the Sky walking trail brought us here and we found the displays interesting and informative. Entry is free although donations are requested.

If you are a Dylan Thomas fan, this place is a must. There's a vast collection of his work and many interactive exhibits for adults and children alike. Check opening times before you travel!
