Tips

April 6, 2022

Hiking

This 13th-century castle is remote and magnificent and its ruined walls are incredibly evocative. It was built by Llywelyn the Great to defend Gwynedd and it's not hard to see why its position in the mountainous landscapes was so useful. Aside from being remarkable itself, its backdrop is stunning, with patchwork hills and rocky peaks.

Hiking

Interesting ruin - you have to climb up to it as its not very visible from the road. Good views up and down the valley.
