DENBIGH CASTLE

It was built between 1282 and 1311 on a hill overlooking the town on the site of an earlier Welsh fort with an unusual triangular gatehouse formed out of three massive polygonal towers. It was badly damaged during a six month seige during the Civil War and by slighting in 1660 but much of interest remains. A substantial amount of the town walls are still standing.

Cadw, open all year.
