Dolbadarn Castle
Dolbadarn castle was built by the Welsh national hero, prince Llywelyn the Great, and stands at the foot of the spectacular Llanberis Pass in north Wales. The castle dates from the early 13th century, and only the lower part of its main tower now stands.
In its heyday Dolbadarn castle held a strategic position, and was often the scene of fierce fighting between Welsh and English forces. In the late 13th century, the castle fell to the English, and much of its material was used in the construction of nearby Caernarfon castle.
