Heroic Maps – Castell Gwythyr
Castell Gwythyr Ruins
Once the impregnable stronghold of Castell Gwythyr, time and warfare have taken their toll and what remains now is crumbling stone and mossy walls, perched atop a rocky hill. The ruins of the castle are abandoned, although one of the towers has been inhabited and used a shelter for the camps of travellers who pass the ruins.
Castell Gwythyr
Sitting on a rocky outcrop, the stronghold of Castell Gwythyr has withstood attacks and the elements for centuries. Unapproachable on most sides due to the steep cliffs, the castle is reached via a narrow path. The open courtyard is flanked by two towers. The north tower of the castle houses the stores and a barracks for the men-at-arms that garrison the fortress. The south tower has a chapel and kitchen on the ground floor, a great hall on the 1st floor and the Lord’s quarters on the second floor.
