Hello John, Nefyn castle is indeed located in a childrens playground and what a bizarre sight it makes! http://www.castlewales.com/nefyn.html
No such luck with Abersoch as it seems that the site has been totally destroyed.
I haven't visited either site so someone else may have more information for you.

Paul.

Hi I found this board by accident! I am originally from Nefyn and in actual fact it wasn't a castle but a monastery as the name of that place 'Brynmynach' means 'monk hill'. i have never heard of a castle being there..but we do have an old watchtower..which could have been part of a castle..I have read that somewhere but not totally sure! never heard about a castle in abersoch either but then again there could have been!! (my fiancee has just said u can get a 'castle monastery thing??...!! if so then maybe there was a castle!)
