It would be hard to overstate the drama of this 13th-century castle, thanks to its incredible location in Snowdonia National park. Thought to have been the birthplace of Llywelyn the Great, the castle was one of the area's strongholds.

You can access the exterior of the castle year-round.

Last time I drove passed (02/03/2003) the car park is closed and all the signs are covered up so check before visiting
