Caergwrle Castle

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Caergwrle was begun by Dafydd ap Grufudd in 1277, as part of his short-lived rebellion against the Normans in Wales. The castle was ruined in the conflict, but later rebuilt by Edward I. A subsequent fire damaged the castle and it was never repaired. Sections of the curtain wall remain, with a round keep and corner towers, all in a poor state.
