π°β€οΈ Paxton's Tower & Three Incredible Castles All Within 10 Miles of Each Other! β€οΈπ°
Sometimes the best adventures are the ones you never planned. πΆββοΈβ¨
Paxton's Tower had been on my list for a while, but I only discovered it by chance while exploring Dinefwr Castle earlier in the day.
I spotted this huge tower standing proudly on the hillside in the distance and immediately thought, "What's that?" π€π°
A quick look on Google Maps and there was absolutely no way I was driving all the way to Carmarthenshire and not going to see it for myself! ππ¨
And wow... the photos and videos really don't do it justice. π
As you get closer, the sheer size of Paxton's Tower is incredible. It dominates the landscape and can be seen for miles across the beautiful Tywi Valley. π³β°οΈ
What makes it even more fascinating is that it wasn't built as a castle, fortress or defensive tower. It was built over 200 years ago as a monument to Admiral Lord Nelson. Imagine having a giant tower built on a hill in your honour! βπ°
The views from the top are absolutely spectacular. πβ¨ I wish I had the time to stay for sunset π!
From one viewpoint you can see:
π° Dryslwyn Castle
π° Dinefwr Castle
π° Carreg Cennen Castle
π All four historic landmarks sit within roughly a 10-mile radius of each other, making this one of the most incredible history-filled day trips in Wales.
