The remains of a 13th-century castle with stone walls and a commanding view of the Severn Valley.
Dolforwyn Castle is primarily built on volcanic sandstone, offering a solid foundation that's stood the test of time—unlike that dodgy camping stove you bought on clearance.
Stunning views of the Severn Valley, the Brecon Beacons to the south, and distant hills of Snowdonia.
Dolforwyn translates to 'the hill of the fortress'.
The castle was significant during the power struggles of the 13th century and is a reminder of the tumultuous times in Welsh history.
