St Donat's Castle - Castell Sain Dunwyd

Dating back to the twelfth century the majority of the remains are thirteenth (such as the inner and outer gateway) with considerable additions made in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. This site has been in continuous use since the Iron Age. With a history of occupation extending back to the late-13th century, the castle is among the oldest continuously inhabited castles in Wales. Contraversial atlerations were made to the castle after it was purchased  in 1925 by William Randolph Hearst. It was sold in 1960 after his death and subsequently donated to the trustees of Atlantic College and is home to over three hundred international students. It is located off the B4265 to the west of Llantwit Major, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales (Welsh: Llanilltud Fawr, Bro Morgannwg, Cymru).
