The quaint town of Denbigh is home to a mighty castle with a rich history. Formerly a royal residence owned by Dafydd ap Gruffudd, Edward I took the town during his conquest of Wales in 1282, which was followed by Henry de Lacy building a new walled town surrounding a new castle.  

Over the years, the castle would change ownership multiple times and endured even more war during the Glyndŵr Rising, the Wars of the Roses and the First English Civil War, the latter of which led to its partial demolition before the castle fell into ruin. 

After centuries of hardship, the ruins now make for peaceful North Wales days out, and are one of the best places to visit in North Wales due to its huge historic significance. A visit to Denbigh Castle will leave a lasting impression, bringing to life the tumultuous and fascinating past of North Wales.
