Kidwelly Castle is a well-preserved Norman castle located in the town of Kidwelly in Carmarthenshire, southwest Wales. Kidwelly began in the early 12th century as a Norman ‘ringwork’ castle made of wood and protected only by an earthen bank and ditch. Not surprisingly it was under constant attack by Welsh princes including the Lord Rhys, who captured it in 1159.Kidwelly was used as a location for the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, appearing in the very first scene. #Kidwellycastle #kidwel
