Kidwelly

Kidwelly Castle stands above the Gwendraeth Fach estuary in southwestern Wales. Its towers and enclosing walls guard a settlement long contested by Welsh princes and Norman lords. In 1136 the Welsh princess Gwenllian was killed in battle near the castle; her son Rhys later captured it and held it for many years. During Owain Glyndŵr's uprising in 1403 the town was attacked, but the castle's defenders withstood a siege.
