What is recorded here
Clyne Gardens, in grounds of Clyne Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Swansea, Wales. Perhaps the gardens hide a chamber where forgotten people whispered to stone. Maybe the castle walls still hold the heat of hands that built them. Imagine walking past doors that never opened because the living stopped asking permission.
