With stunning views over Mumbles, Oystermouth Castle sits majestically on the hill overlooking Swansea Bay.  It's looking especially good these days thanks to a recent facelift. A massive amount of work has taken place to stitch the castle structure back together making it safe and sustainable for the foreseeable future. Earth has been dug under the expert eye of Glamorgan Gwent archaeologists to expose private staircases leading from vaults to previous banqueting halls.  Staircases have been lit by lime washing walls, and made safe with rope handrails.

Views that have been hidden away for centuries have been revealed thanks to a 30 foot high glass bridge; ancient graffiti art from the 14^th century can be spotted if you close enough, and access to the
castle has been dramatically improved.

A whole maze of rooms have been made safe and accessible in preparation for the public to come and explore in 2012.
