CLA Cymru: Visit to Carreg Cennen Castle & Dyfed branch AGM 2024

Online bookings now closed, please call 07817 128277 if you wish to attend
In 1963 the farm was purchased from the Cadwor Estate by Margret's parents who had run the farm as a hill farm with sheep, cattle & Welsh ponies. Bernard and Margaret are now in charge and the business has been developed by them to the visitor attraction that it now is: Historic Monument, Neolithic cave dwelling, (link to The Castle).
'The Barn' built rustically with Green oak in 1996 with seating for 100 people, a gift Shop housed in the old stables and cart house (link to tea rooms and gift shop), 'The Wood Shed' was built with Green Oak in 2011 and is now our centre for Wedding Ceremonies, Naming Ceremonies, conferences, Events and Afternoon tea parties.
The 11th Century Longhouse is nestled in the centre of the old farm yard and houses an extensive display of agricultural artefacts sources from all over the UK.

This is all run alongside a working farm with 50 Longhorn Cattle, 300 Welsh mountain, Cheviot, Glamorgan, Balwen, Exmoor Horn and Soay Sheep and a few Thoroghbred racehorses are usually around depending on who's in or out of training at the time.


The story of Carreg Cennen Castle is a long one, going back at least to the 13th century. There is archaeological evidence, however, that the Romans and prehistoric peoples occupied the craggy hilltop centuries earlier (a cache of Roman coins and four prehistoric skeletons have been unearthed at the site). Although the Welsh Princes of Deheubarth built the first castle at Carreg Cennen, what remains today dates to King Edward I's momentous period of castle-building in Wales.
