Denbigh Castle

This is an amazing castle to visit with so much of the original structure in existence to 'dream of the days of old' when knights were bold!

Built around the 1290's for the English Realm and King Edward I to place a strong hold 'base' in Wales.

The construction of the castle included the amazing castle walls and the town walls (a great part that are still standing today) that surround the town.

Castell Rhuddlan !

A Magic castle to explore so very large and full of old medieval mystique.

Built around the 1277's for the English Realm and King Edward I to place another strong hold 'base' in Wales.

The construction of the castle included the access from the river Clwyd for boats and also to act as a water supply to the moats on the other three sides.
