St. Rhidian & St. Illtyd Church, Llanrhidian
The original "Llan" probably dates back to the 6th century, as there was once an inscribed stone (lost) in the area. Rhidian is probably a corruption of 'Tryrulhid', who was St. Illtyd's wife. The church itself is 13th century with the present chancel and tower added in the 14th century. A large stone block named 'the Parson's block' tops the massive west tower. This structure was originally a fire beacon to give warning of enemies approaching by land or sea.
In the porch is the mysterious 'leper -stone' bearing representations of human and animal figures. This was discovered near the tower and is dated back to the 9th or 10th century. It might have Viking origins and could possibly be a hogback tombstone. On the green outside are the remains of an 11th century wheel cross known as the 'Pillory' (or whipping) stone.

Weobley Castle
Weobley Castle is a fortified manor house, where domestic comfort took priority over defensive capabilities. It overlooks the Llanrhidian marsh and the Llwchwr estuary.
The castle consists of four ranges around a small courtyard, with the main rooms at first-floor level. The south range is largely ruined and the buildings on the south-east where probably never even completed. The castle was built by the de la Bere family during the 1300's, with David de la Bere the probable founder early in the century.
