What is recorded here

St Donats Castle stands in the Vale of Glamorgan, its stones marked by age and maritime ambition. It is the kind of place where grand plans collide with tidal facts, where pride must bend before the sea. The castle does not pretend to be simple. It records the moment human desire met an unforgiving coast, and the coast waited.

St Donats Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Vale of Glamorgan. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

St Donats Castle was originally built by the de St. Romain family in the 13th century and later held by the Morgan family, who significantly expanded it in the 16th century. It is important as a historic example of medieval and Elizabethan architecture in Wales and is now a notable country house and hotel.
