What is recorded here

Ruthin Castle Park is a medieval park in Denbighshire, Wales, recorded by the National Monuments Record of Wales. Its name suggests a lost castle, but no castle is listed in the saved facts. The park may still hold the shape of that missing building in its hedges, paths or buried stones. A medieval boundary can survive long after the walls that gave it purpose have vanished.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Ruthin Castle Park, Ruthin as Park 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.

Ruthin Castle was built by Dafydd ap Gruffydd, Prince of Gwynedd, in the late 13th century, and later captured and strengthened by Edward I of England. It is important as a key example of Welsh and English medieval military architecture and as a symbol of the struggle for control of North Wales during the late Middle Ages.
