Always fun visiting this landmark. Never seem to pass the M4 without having a sneaky glance over, was always a feature of childhood holidays on the way out of Wales and on return! Fables depicted on the tower inner walls are my favourite!

Visited at the end of a pleasant walk through the nearby forest. The spire in question is the larger of the three conical spires on this Victorian folly. The 'B' on the metal flags on the spires I presume refer to the Bute family who had the folly built.

Seen as driving past. Visited about three years ago but wasn't certain I'd looked specifically for the spire.

An easy drive-by, either M4 or A470. An 1870's folly, I must visit one day, looks fabulous. It's Castell, not Castle
