Ghosts

This ruined, 12th century castle overlooking Three Cliffs Bay is the subject of several different fables. Built overnight by a sorcerer to save himself from certain death by the Normans, it is haunted by the spirit of the winged witch Gwrach-y-rhibyn, who curses anyone who dares sleep overnight within the walls. Reclaimed by the sand dunes, another local story tells of the Verry Folk ('fairies') engulfing the castle as punishment for Pennard Castle’s Lord threatening them with swords. In yet another story, a maiden reputedly threw herself off nearby Penrice Hill after avenging the death of her lover. An eerie place to visit, Pennard Castle offers magnificent views.
