What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Flint 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.
Flint Castle was built by Edward I of England in the late 13th century as part of his campaign to conquer and subdue Wales. It is important as a key example of medieval military architecture and as a symbol of English dominance in Wales.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
