Ruined farm house and buildings in Llawhaden village centre For as long as I have known these buildings and this village I have thought that they should be restored and returned to use. Very memorable though.

The rear face of the gatehouse at Llawhaden Castle Only one tower remains, the other has long ago collapsed or been undermined to provide building stone following the Dissolution in the mid 1500's. Impressive survivor though. The site now managed by Cadw. Who I feel could well be missing a trick by not opening this site up (its near Oakwood and other attractions and may appeal to many people who I'm sure have yet to hear of it).

Llawhaden Bridge A small car passes over the bridge. I've ridden a horse over it and under it and I can vouch that it is a lovely structure.
