Kidwelly is one of Wale's best kept secrets. It represents a vision of medievil times, more complete than many of its better known contemporaries. The Castle is remarkably well preserved, a chronicle in stone of the evolution of medievil military architecture. it's building spans four centuries from it's beginnings as a simple stockade put up by the Normans in 1106 to a powerful concentric 'walls within walls' fortress. But it's most striking feature is the soaring twin towered great gatehouse, completed in 1422 as Kidwelly's chief strong point, which still stands almost to its full height |
