Castle time

Yes Swansea has a castle, well Oystermouth does !

Oystermouth Castle sits majestically on the hill in Mumbles with stunning views overlooking Swansea Bay.

Oystermouth Castle is re-opening Sunday 30th March. Take a look a look at our What's On section for all the fun things you can do there.

Opening hours: April – September: 11am – 5pm

Over the summer, people have been able to explore parts of the castle that have been hidden away for centuries, and have learnt about the castle’s exciting history. The castle even had a visit from HRH The Princess Royal in September!

New features in the castle have included private staircases leading from vaults to previous banqueting halls and a 30 foot high glass bridge. Ancient graffiti art dating back from the 14th century is also now visible too.

Over recent years the castle has undergone conservation work to ensure the castle structure is safe and sustainable for the foreseeable future.

Now the public can explore parts of the castle that have been hidden away for centuries and learn about the castle’s exciting history.
