Llansteffan
Castle

Llansteffan castle stands in a wonderfully picturesque location, crowning the top of a well-defined headland looking out over the broad sand-flats of the Tywi estuary.

This strong hilltop position was first fortified in the prehistoric Iron Age and by the sixth century BC a double bank and ditch had been thrown across the neck of the headland to create a defensive promontory fort.

It is hardly surprising, therefore, that the Norman invaders also recognised the defensive potential of the site.

A Look Back | TOAST Presents A Shared Table

On Thursday 16 April, we invited members of our community to celebrate this collaborative journey with an immersive meal – shaped by farmers, fishermen, and producers on the south coast of Wales. Set above the tidal sweep of the Tywi Estuary, the afternoon was guided by a deep respect for seasonality and provenance; rituals were shared, stories were told, and heritage was honoured.
