More about this scene

Pennard stands high above a tidal creek some eight miles west-south-west of Swansea. The ruins are of a late 13th-century castle built on the site of an earlier stronghold. It is not certain who owned Pennard or who lived in it; there is no evidence for any 15th- or 16th-century rebuilding, so perhaps the castle was abandoned in the 14th century.

Mom was born in Swansea in 1924. She adopted a dog from our local Animal Care and Control in Michigan 1998 - she fell in love with her.  She named her Pennard after this place. She loved it here.
