Swansea Castle today

Perhaps the most stunning feature is the arcaded parapet that was added around 1330 - a real "statement" addition. Other features to look out for include:

• The dressed stonework carved from Sutton stone quarried near Ogmore.
• The tall cross oillets, or arrowloops, in the south wall of the castle as well as the gun-ports which were added in the mid-1400s.
• The main entrance way into the castle which would have been up a flight of steps from the courtyard - and now marked in stone in the paving.
