Castle (Nprn95725)
Church (Nprn102186).

2. The village of Llansteffan lies on the western bank of the Tywi River, just above where it enters the sea. The village dates back to the medieval period, although the history of the local area extends back into prehistory ? the Norman castle was built on the site of an Iron Age Hillfort. The strategic position of the village allowed it to prosper during the medieval period, when it became a borough. The prosperity of the village dwindled in the tudor period, although it continues to attract tourists.
