Denbigh

Denbigh's castle and town walls rise above the Vale of Clwyd in northern Wales. Built after Edward I's conquest, the stronghold guarded a new borough beneath its formidable gatehouse. In 1400 Owain Glyndŵr's forces attacked the town, but the castle held out. It was defended again for Charles I during the Civil War, until its Royalist garrison surrendered in 1646. The castle was later deliberately dismantled.
