      It’s Oystermouth castle in The Mumbles. It’s a wonderful castle to visit. Very popular during the summer months.

      This one is just ruins, so I don’t think it would make a good home (unless you are some kind of wildlife). I do know that owls live in the ruins.

      Nobody is ever late here on my blog, Willow. If comments are open, then come on in. I am blessed to be living near two castles (Swansea and Oystermouth). The picture is of Oystermouth castle.

    I don’t know this but similar views even only in our country. We have two of such castles (like ruins) maybe a mile apart from each other. Another one abut 6 miles away. And there are two bigger habitable castles too. One is the residence of our prince. I like visiting or looking at these castles and imagine how life might have been back then.

      The habitable castles are amazing because they’ve survived for so long, Erika. But the ruins of castles are also just as amazing to explore. I’m glad you have some near that you can visit.

        I agree! So much history to see and perceive. Yes, we have even more in a bit a greater surrounding. The area around us (Austria, Switzerland, Germany) is covered with castles and ruins too.

    Looks like a lonely little castle on a hill sitting very still!

      They only move if we get earthquakes. Thank goodness, we don’t get them in the UK, otherwise, these old buildings would have all been grounded and their history would have been wiped away.

    It looks like a lovely castle Hugh. I need to organise a holiday/trip to Wales

      We have so many to visit, Brenda. But I hear Scotland also has its fair share of castles.

    Wow, how cool to walk up the hill and see a castle, Hugh! Something I want to do someday! I wouldn’t know another country’s flag if it smacked me in the face. Glad someone else knew. Wales seems like a magical country.

      We are blessed to have more castles per square mile than any other country in the world, Terri. There are two castles within 2 miles of where I live. They’re great to visit, especially if you like history.

        Wow, love that. Coincidentally I’m watching The Crown on Netflix. The episode that documents King Charles semester to study Welch just began. What a fascinating history!

          I’m watching the final season of The Crown at the moment. I remember the investiture of the Prince of Wales (as he was the) very well. As a child, we all got a commemorative mugs and a coin. It was a full day of celebrating.

      Oystermouth castle. Only a 25 minute walk for me to reach it, Cathy. Closed during the winter months, but due to reopen from Easter.

      I’m not a fan of the summer months. Too hot and humid for me, but spring and autumn are delights.

        Yeah, we’re all different. I see what you mean. Way too hot summers are no fun either, but I prefer that to cold and lots of snow.
