What is recorded here
Weobley Castle stands on a white limestone outcrop above the Loughor mudflats, a grand 14th-century home built by the de la Bere family rather than a war machine. It survived Owain Glyndwr's rebellion and remained occupied until the early 20th century, watching boats and birds cross the shallow water below. The house still sits within working farmland, where its poor condition and narrow footprint remind visitors that grandeur can be small, quiet and easily overlooked.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Weobley Castle as Recorded historic place 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.
Weobley Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Weobley family, a prominent local landowning family in Herefordshire, England. It is remembered as a significant example of a medieval manorial castle and for its historical association with the region's feudal past.
