Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Traces of earthwork is all that remains of this castle with the turbulent past so typical of many Welsh castles. It was built about 1101 by Robert de Bellesme, but captured the following year by Henry I. Over the subsequent century it was taken and retaken at least seven times before being destroyed by Llywelyn ab Iorwerth around 1230.
