Aerial View of Dolwyddelan Castle, Snowdonia, North Wales
On a recent trip up to North Wales and Anglesey we passed this magnificent castle on our travels. Stopping well below the fortress it was a perfect location to put the drone up to grab some video and images.
Dolwyddelan Castle (Castell Dolwyddelan) is a thirteenth-century castle located west of Dolwyddelan in Conwy County. The castle was probably begun by Llywelyn ab Iorwerth, the ruler of the Kingdom of Gwynedd, between 1210 and 1240 to defend an east–west route within the kingdom. Dolwyddelan was captured by Edward I of England in 1283, and despite being immediately refortified its military significance subsequently declined.
The castle is built on a small knoll and consists of a keep on the east side and a tower on the west, linked by walls to form a roughly circular enclosure. The building history is uncertain, but the keep is the oldest structure. It has been heightened twice, first by either Edward I or Maredudd ab Ieuan and second during the nineteenth-century restoration.
