Mold Castle

Nice place for a walk. So peaceful.

If you are in mold and like a short walk or some where to it you chips in a nice area then go to the castle. The information about the history is a interesting.

This is an interesting site of an old Motte and Bailey castle. There's nothing there with regards to actual ruins, but the grounds are very unusual and provide some nice views.

It's worth noting there's no actual castle here. It's what remains of a motte and bailey castle, so you have a mound, with a flat bit and another higher mound. But there's no castle to explore. Think of it as a small park with steep hills.

The playground is basically abandoned, and on a quiet day you'll get to interact with local teens trying to have a crafty smoke and hoping to look tough but looking quite adorable really.

If you're really into history it's probably quite interesting, but don't expect a major attraction. My three stars reflects that more than any slight on the town. It's not Caernarfon Castle or anything like that. It's a local interest attraction for most. With a disappointing playground. Visitor centre was closed on Good Friday.

A handrail is urgently needed for the steep footpath through the gates

Well maintained and largely accessible castle site and park. Good views. Free entry.

Lovely to see the renovation works nearing completion. The new visitor centre looks great - really hoping it will have a cafe and loos! Hope the child's play area will be upgraded too? Lovely to see other people enjoying the Hill too. A childhood haunt being lovingly restored and enhanced! 💞

Lovely little park in the grounds of what was an twelfth century motte and bailey castle at the top end of Mold. You can climb up the mound and there are terraced park sections where the outer and inner baileys were originally located. The whole area is planted with well-established trees and there are plenty of smart benches to sit down and enjoy the views. The play area is out of action at the moment but I expect will be modernised soon. Dogs can run free over the hill and enjoy the peace. It's small but a lovely spot altogether.
