Denbigh Castle
Denbigh Castle is a late 13th‑century concentric fortress built on a wooded hill above the town of Denbigh in north‑east Wales. Its entrance is dominated by a triangular complex of three octagonal towers and long curtain walls with multiple mural towers that connect into the town defences. The site survives as extensive stone ruins of walls, towers and the inner ward.

As it stood in 1300
The shape it held in its prime.
A large hilltop castle of grey stone with a prominent triangular gate complex formed by three joined octagonal towers facing the town, long curtain walls punctuated by at least eight mural towers, and a broad, grassy inner ward within. The castle sits atop wooded slopes with terraces and retaining walls descending the hillside; sections of the town walls run out from the castle and enclose the old walled town. Many towers and wall stretches survive only as ruined masonry.
