Candleston Castle is a historic ruin located in the town of Bridgend, Wales. The castle was built in the 14th century and was originally used as a defensive fortress during the medieval period. The castle is situated in a picturesque location surrounded by lush greenery and a tranquil lake.
The castle was constructed using local sandstone and features a rectangular-shaped keep with four towers at each corner. The castle was later expanded with the addition of a gatehouse and a curtain wall. The castle was also equipped with a drawbridge and a moat for added protection.
Over the years, the castle has been the site of many battles and sieges. During the English Civil War, the castle was captured by the Parliamentarians and was later used as a prison. The castle was eventually abandoned in the 18th century and fell into disrepair.
Today, the castle is a popular tourist attraction and is open to the public. Visitors can explore the castle ruins and learn about its rich history. The castle is also a popular spot for picnics and outdoor activities, with many visitors enjoying the scenic views of the surrounding countryside.
Despite its ruined state, Candleston Castle remains a fascinating piece of Welsh history and is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in medieval architecture and Welsh heritage.
