News Story:
"As the “haunted” Oystermouth Castle gets set to open its doors after a £3m makeover, Swansea council have announced a series of events to promote the city’s history.
As the Mumbles tourist attraction gets ready to open its gates again next month, Swansea council say they are planning to promote the city’s rich history with a “Copper Kingdom” walk.
It will take tourists through Swansea’s days as the copper producing centre of the world.
There will be tours of the castle and pavement markers showing the location of the city’s old gallows, markets and other historical hot spots.
The castle gates will re-open at the start of April and be open throughout the summer until September." Text Source: (
