Pair of motor cycles and riders The sun was shinning and visitors were driving about, the two meticulous motor cycles with riders were enjoying the weather, I wonder if they had climbed up to see the ruin? or just stopped to chat and sit on the bench.

First view of Dryslwyn Castle As you drive along the B4297 heading north, rounding a bend there is this magnificent monument high on a hill to the right, this day the traffic was heavy and not knowing the area, I pulled in to a gateway to take this photograph, of course a little further on is plenty of parking space, but a little more of the castle can be seen from here.

The Inner Ward of Dryslwyn Castle Dominating the foreground is the base of the round tower. The shot is taken from the gatehouse of the inner ward next to the tower. The wing that extends over the edge of the hill to the rear left of shot is a chapel that was added later. It has tall arched windows. To the right of this are several rooms including the great hall.
