What is recorded here
Gwydir Castle, Terrace Arch and Garden Walls, Llanrwst is an arch from the 16th Century, recorded in the national monument list and still standing beside the castle grounds. The terrace arch may have framed a view, marked a boundary, or carried a path between gardens and rooms. People likely walked through it in seasons when the land around Llanrwst felt busy, and the arch remains as a quiet edge of that lost movement.
