A lovely baby castle, or at least it felt that way. We ambled along a well made up path from parking further down the road, over some wooden bridges, through a wood full of spring flowers, rabbits, and birdsong. We didn't see another soul. The castle is a tiny stone built thing on a big motte with an impressive ditch. Four tiny towers and connecting walls. It's a bit of an ascent to the top of the motte but not very hard work.

Great little walk (if you're coming from the beach parking it might be boggy!) through a nice forest with wildlife and birds all around. The castle itself is small but interesting. This is a great "bonus" stop if you're out and about around Beaumaris and/or Penmon!

There is a beautiful, well marked woodland walk from the coast of the Menai Straits to this castle, an original Norman Moated Motte, on which was later built a stone folly. With birdsong all around, and a moat dotted with flowers, it is hugely atmospheric ( and free!)

Amazing ruins, the woods also provide a good walk great for taking dogs.

Lovely, hidden gem of a castle with good access made possible by wooden walkways and handrails. Excellent. Recommended.

Parking nearby is difficult, and if you park down by the water, it is a fair old hike with little to show for it. The small size and scale of it is interesting, but their is little else of interest. Back in the day, it must have overlooked the water.

This picturesque small castle, its ruins now hidden amongst trees, has an interesting and varied history. There are well made paths to follow and a pleasant stroll from the car park will get you there in around 20 minutes. You have the option of approaching from the car park on the Menai Strait or that in the village of Llangoed.
