Oxwich Castle is another building related to the Mansel family. Oxwich Castle is a Grade I listed castle which overlooks Oxwich Bay on the Gower Peninsula. It is a grand Tudor fortified manor house built in courtyard style, rather than a proper castle.
Today it is managed by CADW and has limited opening hours. Unfortunately it was closed when we visited and we weren’t really able to see anything from the car park, just the top of a tall tower.
Oxwich was originally built by Sir Rice Mansel who also owned land at Penrice and Margam Abbey.
Hopefully we will be able to go back another day.
