Caergwrle Castle was built between 1277 and 1282 by Dafydd a Graffydd who launched an ill fated rebellion against the English which led to Edward I's successful military campaign in Wales.
The ruined castle was rebuilt by Edward I but was abandoned shortly afterwards due to fire damage.
Entrance to the castle is free and easily accessible. There is a short somewhat steep walk to the castle.
