Deff worth the steep walk , breath taking views over Llangowen , & surrounding country side. Take a picnic & sit a admire. You will not be dissapointed.
2. Rhuddlan Castle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 255 reviews
The castle remained faithful to the Edwardian principle of seaborne access Rhuddlan. What’s in a name? ‘Rhudd’ is the old Welsh word for ‘red’ and ‘glan’ means ‘bank’. The Normans left us with ‘roe’, a word derived from the French ‘le rous’, meaning redhead. ‘Roeland’ is first mentioned in 1086 but by 1277 it was known as Rhuddlan and Edward I’s chosen location for a mighty scary castle.

£4.20 entry per adult. Dog friendly. Free parking. Really impressive ruin with circular wall and towers, one of which you can climb via a very modern steel staircase, to access an excellent view of the surrounding area. Well worth a visit. Good spot for a picnic. The toilet was very clean with fresh flowers, nappies and toiletries, and is apparently looked after by the "custodians".
3. Denbigh Castle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 216 reviews
Denbigh’s finest feature is its striking triple-towered great gatehouse. Want to get a historian really excited? Mention Denbigh’s triple-towered great gatehouse. Probably one of the seven wonders of Wales. We think you’ll agree. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

The castle sits proudly at the top of the town and is easily accessible on foot. Book your tickets in advance, only £2 a person. Friendly staff at the entrance and covid secure protocols are in place. Lovely to walk around with information boards to explain different parts of the castle and stunning views of the local area. There is also a little cafe/gift shop. Well worth it!
