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.
