What is recorded here
Southwest corner of Grade I listed Cyfarthfa Castle, Merthyr Tydfil is a castle, fort or tower in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Perhaps the corner held its shape through every storm because it watched the valley breathe. Maybe its stones remember hands that built them and feet that paused to look up. Imagine standing beside it at dusk, small under its angle, while the castle keeps its quiet guard.
