This Month one of our oldest castles will be re-opened to the public after a huge restoration programme.
Built in the early 12th Century, it hosted the first ever Eisteddfod of Welsh literature and music in 1176 but was closed in the late 1990's and the future looked grim.
Overlooking The Teifi, the 900 year old castle is an imposing sight and after its £12 million pound restoration it's set to be a "high end heritage attraction" according to Cris Tomos, director of the Castle.
It now has several restored gardens, an orchard, a space for live music and shows and the ubiquitous Visitor Centre. There is also a B&B and Self-Catering Cottage if you want to stay really close by and savour the "feel" of this wonderful medieval castle, but if you're near by, it's definitely worth taking a trip and walk into living history - you'll love it....
