Bere Castle

This is a Welsh castle in isolated countryside north of Abergynolwyn. It was built for Llywellyn the Great and was the last castle to fall to Edward the First in April 1283. There isn't much left of the castle now, but the ruins, and their dramatic location remain interesting. The site offers beautiful views of the surrounding Welsh landscape, and many artists go to Bere for that reason.

Directions: The drive to Bere castle passes the breathtaking Cadair Idris, the second highest summit in Wales. Take the B4405 to Abergynolwyn.

Access: Bere Castle has open access but no toilet facilities. The paths are rocky and would be impossible for wheelchair users.
