View of the causeway across Llanrhidian Marsh from below Weobley Castle Just a little elevation gains a better view over the extensive marsh and the straight causeway can be better appreciated.

Part of Weobley Castle, Gower The central courtyard has some of the main buildings off it, and these are quite reminiscent of medieval illustrations of the 14th and 15th centuries. Weobley is certainly built in a style that is directly between a fortress of almost purely military purpose and a home with more emphasis on style of living, convenience, mod cons and domestic life. This was its weakness and when attacked in 1403 during the Owain Glyndwr rebellion it could not withstand a concerted attack, and fell, with the possible death of its principal defender, a member of the de la Bere family.
