Oystermouth Castle

Castle Road, Mumbles

Address: Castle Avenue, Mumbles, Swansea SA3 4BA
  • Culture
  • Cheap and cheerful
  • Best in Spring, Summer, Autumn

Explore the ruined Norman castle (Castell Ystumllwynarth) on the hill above Mumbles, then cross the glass bridge up to its old chapel.

Why it's a good date: Small enough for an hour, with a view straight down the bay from the top. It's run with the help of local volunteers and opens in the warmer months, so check before you go and pair it with lunch in the village below.
