pleasant afternoon

An interesting historical location. The castle shell and moat are all largely intact. Steps have been installed into the bastions so that you can climb up them and there is a fenced area on top of the wall. There are a few sign boards giving...More

Nice Afternoon Boredom Killer

There isn't an awful lot to do other than walk around the ancient castle and we were very lucky to have a sunny day. The Guard who met us as we walked into the grounds was really good, regaining us with tails of Medieval dastardly...More

Lovely big castle in a small village

£4 admission with free parking. The castle is in need of some updates but is generally a nice place to visit. On a hot day you could have a picnic on the grass with beautiful views all around. The staff were very friendly and helpful....More

Excellent castle

We went here the day after Conwy Castle and I have to say the I prefer Rhuddlan. It is more relaxed, and requires more imagination. Our 5 year old daughter loved exploring the grounds and asking questions about different parts. Free entry to English Heritage...More

Day trip to Rhuddlan Castle

Fantastic to see this historic castle steeped in history still standing and treasured. Take your binoculars to the tower viewing platform, super views of the coastline. Try and find the cannon ball in the wall of this 800 year old castle. If you love history,...More
