Kidwelly Castle

Kidwelly Castle. Established as a borough, Kidwelly is one of the oldest boroughs in Wales and stands in the shadow of a great Norman Castle. The first townspeople were English, French and Flemish immigrants, traders and agriculturalists that were integrated to consolidate the Norman hold on the district. The Castle and the Town were attacked and devastated several times by the zealous Welsh. By the end of the 13th Century the inner town was defended by great walls and gateways. During the 14th Century the Town prospered and Kidwelly was one of the busiest trading and commercial centres in South Wales. Kidwelly Castle 54
