It is a very peaceful place today surrounded by quiet rural landscapes and flower gardens.The castle is now little more than ruins as it was abandoned in the 14th century, although it was temporarily used in the early 15th Century during the Welsh rebellion led by Owain Glyndwr. Entry is free and there is free car parking.
