Sweets in Kidwelly: Castle Where Princess Gwenllian Stood

Kidwelly has been shaped by its castle for over 900 years, and the ruins standing today still dominate the town on the River Gwendraeth.

A Norman stronghold since 1106

Kidwelly Castle was established in 1106, shortly after the Norman conquest of this part of Wales, originally as a simple earth-and-timber ringwork before being rebuilt in stone between the 13th and 15th centuries.

The warrior-princess who attacked it

In 1136, Princess Gwenllian led a Welsh army against the Anglo-Norman lord of Kidwelly. She was captured and beheaded near the castle, but her stand is remembered as one of the defining moments of Welsh resistance, and the castle later held firm when besieged by Owain Glyndŵr in 1403.
