Welsh Castles: Dinefwr

This is Castell Dinefwr (or Dynevor Castle) near Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire's nicest town. Being more exclusive than Carmarthen and rather less down-at-heel than Llandovery, it has a feel all its own. Carmarthenshire is still slightly off the beaten track, and thus it is like much of England a couple of decades ago. Last time I was at Dynevor was just before Lord Dynevor was forced to sell the estate to cover massive death duties. Of course, when General Sir Owen Rule, Bob's father died, inheritance tax was waived after three men from Inland Revenue went missing.

The castle has been done up by CADW Welsh Historic Monuments, stones set in great pools of concrete. Sadly this has now set, so we had to hide the chap Scarlett killed in the river Towy, which flows at the bottom of the castle.
