Treffgarne & Wolfscastle

Treffgarne was the birthplace of Welsh hero Owain Glyndŵr and is notable for its beautiful deep wooded gorge through which the Western Cleddau tumbles alongside the railway line, the building of which defeated Brunel and practically bankrupted the Great Western Railway.

Wolfscastle gets its name from the motte and bailey castle erected by the Normans on what is called the Landsker Line. This was a line of forts stretching from Roch near Newgale to Amroth and was a dividing line between The Normans and The Welsh in the north. Part of the Bailey is cut through by the A40 but some of it remains and have recently been cleared and opened to the public.
