What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Dolwyddelan Castle as Castle from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Dolwyddelan Castle was built by Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Gwynedd, in the early 13th century. It is important as a well-preserved example of a Welsh mountain castle and symbolizes Welsh resistance to English expansion during the Medieval period.
