I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Perched high above the Eastern Cleddau river in Pembrokeshire, Wales, the striking ruins of Llawhaden Castle offer a fascinating glimpse into medieval history. Unlike typical military strongholds built by marching barons, Llawhaden was established as a fortified palace by the powerful Bishops of St Davids.
First founded as an earthwork castle in the early 12th century, it was later transformed into a grand, luxurious stone residence by Bishop Adam de Houghton between 1362 and 1389.
The bird’s-eye view looking directly down onto the castle reveals its rounded, polygonal layout, the open central courtyard, and the surrounding green moat and earthworks that originally protected the bishop's estate.
The elevated, sweeping shot showcasing the castle gatehouse and its dramatic backdrop frames the stone ruins against the lush, rolling hills of the Welsh countryside. It highlights how the site commanded views over the surrounding landscape while a closer, eye-level drone perspective focuses on the imposing, twin-towered gatehouse.
Today, Llawhaden Castle stands as a peaceful, managed ruin under the care of Cadw
