Aberystwyth is a large seaside town in north west Wales. Perfect for a stroll along the prom, prom, prom as the song goes.
That would then put you in just the right place to view the remains of a vast, stone castle, a symbol of the might of Edward I, and his relentless suppression of the Welsh.

Cardigan Castle is an ancient fortress, once the stronghold of Lord Rhys, the first Welsh lord to build a stone castle. However, it had been privately owned and lived in for as long as anyone could remember, with only sporadic access for the public. In 2003 the castle site, which contains a large Georgian house built into the ancient walls, was bought by Ceredigion Council and they have totally refurbished the site. It was only re-opened in April 2015, and so we believe C4K to be one of the first of the castle sites to have visited and reviewed the new Cardigan Castle!
