PLACE OF THE WEEK

Dinefwr Park and Castle, Carmarthenshire

Found just outside Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales, Dinefwr is home to a national nature reserve, an ancient castle, a deer park and a historic house. Dinefwr Castle has stood on a hilltop above the Tywi Valley for hundreds of years. Dinefwr supports a huge range of species and habitats, from dense woodlands to wet meadows. Some of the country’s most secretive animals live there too, including otters, polecats, deer, badgers and eagles.

The park is home to more than 100 fallow deer.
