This massive earth mound marks the site of Rhuddlan’s first castle. It sits above the River Clwyd,it was built in 1073 by Robert of Rhuddlan, the mound would have been topped with timber fortifications, though it is possible that a stone structure was erected at a later date. The castle moved between Welsh and English hands several times during the troubled 11th and 12th centuries, until it was replaced by Rhuddlan Castle – built just a short distance away by King Edward I in 1277.

St Mary's has been serving the people of Rhuddlan since 1301 a place of prayer and worship, celebration and remembrance, warmly welcoming visitors.

This Beautiful sandy beach is a 15 min drive away, it has very clean. The council have spent lots of money here and it really shows. Plenty of parking, perfect for riding bikes along the coast, endless sandy beach with shower heads to wash off sandy bodies and feet on the pathway, toilet facilities, ice cream huts. I recommend taking a picnic as the beach is quite a way out of the main attractions/town but it is a really nice beach now they have worked on it

Get up early and take a drive up the coast, they do good coffee here, breakfast is really nice, the views out to sea are lovely, the toast and coffee is very good value, they also do evening meals.
