Morning - it's near to  Kenfig National Nature Reserve on google map.

Not a million miles from Sker House.

isn the town under the big lake that I can see in the pic ? if so that incredable

[mothball]

That's the local folk lore, but the experts reckon the town is under the dunes.  The top of the castle is/was being 'dug'.   They say it was the sand that covered the town.

Many tales of people hearing bells from Kenfig Pool ringing out in the night!

Great
