IN TIME AT
lansteffan
L
lansteffan castle was a castle that established
in the earlier 12th century within the site of an
Iron Age promotory fort. It’s about 30 minutes
away from Carmarthen by bus. I enjoyed the remote-
ness of this castle. Just being here brings the soul into
sweet surrender, at one with nature, vibrant yet re-
laxed. There aren’t any castles back in Malaysia. To see
castles in real life gives some perspective to the vast
amounts of time that have passed since their creation.
To reach the castle we all had to climb up a gentle
incline for about half a mile. From its position at the
top of the hill, this castle dominates the landscape.
You will surely see it from the path when you are
walking towards up. In this hallowed and ancient
site, the trees surrounded the path to the castle like
great armies defending their citadel. It is actually
very eerie going through the path but once you are
up there, you will be rewarded with amazing view.
