About Dryslwyn Castle Ruins
Dryslwyn Castle was built by Rhys Gryg, one of the sons of the powerful Lord Rhys. During the Second War of Welsh Independence it was attacked by a large English force and finally fell after a bitter three week siege. It was captured by Owain Glyndŵr in 1403 and was later deliberately slighted to prevent further military use. As a bonus the hilltop has one of the best views of the Towy Valley. (Dryslwyn, Carmarthen, Wales)
