An ancient market town,
Denbigh lies on a hillside overlooking the
Vale of Clwyd. Above it is the ruin of the
town’s limestone castle, created as a border
stronghold after Llywelyn The Last was
defeated in battle in 1282 by Edward l.
The remains include an
impressive gatehouse with no less than three
towers. So sturdy was this fortress that it
later took Cromwell’s troops four months to
bring about its fall during the English Civil
War in 1646. The layout of the town itself has
hardly changed since the Middle Ages. |
