The masonry tower at Dolbadarn
is regarded as one of the finest remaining of the Welsh castles,
a memorial to Llewelyn ab Iorwerth or Llewelyn the Great. He was
the undisputed Prince of Gwynedd from 1201 until his death in 1240.
The strategic importance of his castles was at the heart of political
power in the thirteenth century and was only finally overshadowed
by Edward I.
The Castle is now open to visitors and is maintained by Cadw: Welsh
Historic Monuments. Currently, there is no admission charge and free
access to the Castle. read
