Castell Aberlleiniog is an atmospheric site nestled within a serene woodland nature reserve. The motte and bailey fortress was founded in 1099 by Hugh d'Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester, due to its strategic beside the Menai Strait opposite the Norman castle at Abergwyngregyn. The original Norman timber structure was replaced by a stone castle in the early 17th century.

Nice little set of ruin with history detailed. It is nice to go around this quiet area to take in the history, you can walk around just outside the ruins as well as going into more open space to appreciate it.

On a nice sunny day in late spring, you can smell the wild garlic carpet of the woodland floor and have birdsong accompanying you on your journey. Whereas in autumn, you can soak up the castle in a beautiful array of autumn leaf colours.
