consisted of two rings of curtain walls, with two twin-towered

tower to the north and south of the castle. The west Gatehouse
is one of the best surviving features of Rhuddlan Castle, the
towers lacking only their battlemented parapets. The castle is
in the care of Cadw. Location: On the outskirts of Rhuddlan.
