What is recorded here

Pennard Castle is a medieval ruin where Braose stone halls still stand beside a Norman timber ringwork, overlooking Three Cliffs Bay. William de Broase built the gatehouse and hall as much for pride as defence, leaving portcullis grooves that never reached the ground and arrowslits that missed their purpose. The castle later passed through several noble families before dunes closed around it and people withdrew. Today the ruins remain open on a steep coastal path, marked by rare yellow whitlow-grass and the quiet threat of the sea.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Pennard Castle as Castle from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Built by the de Briouze family in the late 12th or early 13th century, Pennard Castle is located in Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is remembered for its strategic position and as a notable example of a concentric medieval castle in the Welsh Marches.
