Hawarden, Wales

Castell Ewloe, located just northwest of Hawarden in Flintshire, Wales, is a lesser-known castle with a rich yet enigmatic history. Originally thought to have been built by Llywelyn ab Iorwerth and later expanded by his grandson Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, it showcases the architectural evolution of Welsh castles during the 12th and 13th centuries.

Constructed from locally quarried sandstone, Ewloe Castle features distinctive elements such as the Welsh Tower and a surrounding curtain wall, offering visitors a glimpse into its past. Nestled in a serene woodland setting, the castle provides an inviting atmosphere for exploration and reflection amidst its historical ruins.
