Bronwydd Castle (or simply Bronwydd) was a Welsh country house in Cardiganshire, owned by the Lloyd family. Sir Thomas Lloyd, 1st Baronet rebuilt the original 18th century house in the Gothic Revival style in the 1850s The family sold the house in 1937 after the death of Sir Thomas son and daughter-in-law; after World War II the house was stripped of its fittings and has been left in ruins.

Bottled it here as there were holes appearing under the piles of dirt on each step. So I went no further. As there was no light coming in from above I probably wouldn't have made the ramparts anyway.

Don't move stuff as a rule but couldn't resist this one. The skull was facing the wall. Looks like a pagan altar!
