Entering Castle Caereinion

A named place photographed at this map point in Powys.

Built by the Normans in the 12th century, Castle Caereinion was held by the powerful De Braose family and later by the Mortimer earls, playing a key role in the control of mid-Wales during the medieval period. Its strategic position and long military history make it an important site in understanding Norman and later English influence in Wales.
