BBC Hairy Bikers Go Local: The little-known Welsh 'castle' the Bikers stay at on new series

The Hairy Bikers' new series, Go Local kicked off on Tuesday, January 3, at 8pm and sees Dave Myers and Si King, across six episodes, exploring the delicious landscape of the UK. And for its first episode, the pair started off in South Wales, where they stayed in a venue perhaps only well-known in the small seaside village it's found in.

The show sees Si and Dave return to complete a mission in which they are "to play matchmaker and bring together the best local restaurants with the most innovative local suppliers."

And with them needing to take their time in finding the perfect producers, they had to find somewhere equally as magnificent to stay, lucky for them they booked into an impressive Llantwit Major property. known locally as 'Llantwit Castle' - although it isn't actually a castle at all, but an Elizabethan manor house that was built in the 1500s.
