Castell Dinerth

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Dinerth was built by the de Clare family - as were so many other Welsh castles - sometime around 1110. It had not long existed before it was burned by Gruffydd ap Rees. That was just the beginning of a violent history, for over the next 90-odd years Dinerth changed hands at least 6 times and was sacked twice more! Finally in 1102 it was destroyed by Maelgwyn ap Rhys to prevent it falling into the possession of Llewelyn. The site is now overgrown, though the mounds of the castle and the defensive ditches are clearly visible.
