Craig-y-Nos Castle & Country Park
Castell Craig-y-nos
The Gothic Revival castle of 19th-century opera diva Adelina Patti, with a country park beside the river.
Patti, a famous soprano, bought the castle in 1878 and extended it, and it still contains her private theatre. It is now a hotel, where you can book afternoon tea or join a tour to learn about her legendary life. Opposite is Craig-y-Nos Country Park, along the River Tawe, with lawns, ponds and woodland paths. Entry to the park is free, but parking is charged. It sits next to the Dan yr Ogof caves, so you can visit both in one day.
Opening hours
Park approx. 10:00–17:00; castle tours by reservation
