What is recorded here

Rhuddlan Castle is a ruined concentric fortress built from 1277 to 1282 for Edward I, featuring unusual corner gatehouses instead of side entrances. The River Clwyd was straightened and dredged to carry ships inland, feeding the works even when land routes failed. It stood complete just before Llywelyn the Last rose in 1282, then endured until deliberate demolition in 1648.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Rhuddlan 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.

Rhuddlan Castle was built by Edward I of England in the late 13th century, following the conquest of Wales, and served as an important administrative and military centre. It is remembered for its role in the English domination of Wales and as a key element in Edward I's strategy to subdue the region.
