You won’t regret a trip to this beautiful valley near Tywyn. The Castell is a ruin now but still provides magnificent views along the fertile valley in the foothills of Cadair. I recommend the drive via the coastal road to Tywyn, turn off at Abergnowlyn. Afterwards, if you feel like something more energetic, hike up Bird Rock (1 hour) and gets views down to the sea.

It may be remote. But it’s a magnet for all castle lovers. Strung along a jagged rocky outcrop in the Dysynni Valley at the foot of Cader Idris, Castell y Bere is especially good at evoking the spirit and atmosphere of Wales’s native castles. Built by Welsh ruler Llywelyn ap Iorwerth (Llywelyn the Great) to protect Gwynedd’s southern frontier, construction began in 1221 with the castle remaining in use until 1294. Though much of the Castell y Bere’s strength can be attributed to its commanding location, its design is a testament to the ingenuity of its Welsh architects. The sophisticated entrance featuring two gatehouses with drawbridges and possibly portcullises was extremely advanced for its time, even by the standards of English fortifications.

Submerge your self back in time exploring the remains of the old castle set in the back of the Dysynni valley at the foot of Cadair Idris and looking out to the sea.
