At 27 years old, Popeye is normally known for his extra large ‘eyebrows’.

Recently he has moulted both of them at the same time. So until they grow back he wanted to let you all know that he will be identifying as a Short-eared Owl 😂

Just a few miles up the road from here👍. One of many beautiful sites to visit in the surrounding area 👍❤️

On 5th July 1403, it is reported that John Scudamore, warden of the castle at Carreg Cennen, requested reinforcements to help defend the castle from Owain Glyndŵr and army of 800 men.

A history of Carreg Cennen Castle (located within the Brecon Beacons National Park, four miles south of Llandeilo):

* The first masonry castle was probably built by The Lord Rhys, who died in 1197, and it remained a possession of the Deheubarth dynasty for the next 50 years.

* Lord Rhys's grandson, Rhys Fychan, eventually inherited the castle but was betrayed by his mother (the Norman Matilda de Braeos) who turned over the stronghold to the English. Rhys retook in 1248 only for it to be confiscated by Maredudd ap Rhys Gryg, his uncle and then claimed by King Edward I in 1277.

* Edward I granted the castle to John Giffard in 1283. He had been commander of the English troops at Cilmeri where Llywelyn ap Gruffudd (The Last) was killed. Giffard had the castle significantly remodelled.

* In early July 1403 Owain Glyndŵr attacked Carreg Cennen with a force of 800 men but failed to take it despite inflicting damage to the castle's defences. It was held against Glyndwr, who laid siege to it for several months, by the man who, a few years later, was to marry one of Glyndwr's daughters. He was Sir John Scudamore of Herefordshire.

* In 1461, during the Wars of the Roses, Carreg Cennen was held by Lancastrian forces, though the Yorkists eventually captured the castle and set about demolishing it with a team of 500 men.

* The Vaughan and Cawdor families took ownership, and from the 18th century, it started to attract artists (Turner sketched the castle in 1798).

* The second Earl of Cawdor began an extensive renovation in the 19th century, and in 1932 Carreg Cennen was given to the guardianship of the Office of Works.

* In the 1960s Carreg Cennen Castle was acquired by the Morris family of Castell Farm when Lord Cawdor's legal team inadvertently made a mistake in the wording of the deeds and included the castle as part of the farm.

* Today the castle is still in private ownership, although it is maintained by Cadw.
