Bronllys Castle - Added to Castles and Fortifications in Wales

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

Bronllys castle is, as CADW term is, a"sturdy stone tower with a turbulent history".

In truth there isn;'t much to it, but if you brave the 200 or so steps all the way to the top you'll be rewarded with a magnificent view across to Pen y fan in one direction, and bits of Herefordshire in the other. I guess it depends on how much you like old fortifications.

CADW is a bit like the NT, and they aren't fans of drones but as there is no one around to ask or stop you (except at close/open times) then rock on I say. For parking there is a lay-by directly opposite and then it is a very short walk to the steps… and there's a few.
