Places to see in ( Rhuddlan - UK )
Rhuddlan is a town, community and electoral ward in the county of Denbighshire within the historic boundaries of Flintshire, on the north coast of Wales. It is situated to the south of the coastal town of Rhyl and overlooks the River Clwyd. The town gave its name to the Welsh district of Rhuddlan from 1974 to 1996. At the 2001 Census, the population was 4,296, decreasing to 3,709 at the 2011 census.
Rhuddlan has a longer history than the castle fortress built following Edward I's conquest of Wales. Prior to Norman occupation of lower Gwynedd, the Perfeddwlad, Rhuddlan was the site of a Welsh cantref and served as the seat of government and capital of Gwynedd for the Welsh king Gruffydd ap Llywelyn (1007 – August 5, 1063), whose family may have been the traditional Welsh lords of Rhuddlan for generations.
The town is known for the ruins of Rhuddlan Castle, built by King Edward I from 1277 to 1282, and for the site of another castle at Twthill, built by the Norman Robert of Rhuddlan about 1072. The town was also the location where Edward I signed the Statute of Rhuddlan, laying down the way by which the Principality of Wales, created by the princes of Gwynedd, was to be governed.
Rhuddlan railway station was part of the Vale of Clwyd Railway until it closed in the 1960s. In 2001, the A525 bypass road was completed, easing access to Rhyl, and since then the centre of Rhuddlan has been redeveloped.

Mumbles & Oystermouth Castle
Early morning down Mumbles and Oystermouth.
GHOST of Wepre Park & Ewloe Castle,nr Connah's Quay in Flintshire, Wales.
Originally established next to an ancient forest, Wepre woods and estate are described in the Domesday book, situated within the Hundred of Atiscross, measuring 0.5 leagues.The park is home to Ewloe Castle
Ewloe Castle, which was built around 1257, is a relic of a brief triumph that the Welsh prince Llywelyn ap Gruffudd had over the English Crown and the Anglo-Norman Marcher Lords in the mid 13th century. Until then, this part of north east Wales had been the starting point for repeated Norman invasions of Gwynedd for more than 150 years.
Legends say the castle is haunted by the ghost of 'marching men' and, in the surrounding 160 acre woodland between Connah's Quay and Ewloe, Nora the Nun is said to walk.The area had already written itself into the history books as the Battle of Ewloe in 1157 saw 200 Welshmen led by Owain Gwynedd, who was then king of north Wales, nearly kill English monarch Henry II.
The fight in Ewloe wood was close to where the ruins of Ewloe Castle stand.BATTLE OF Ewloe here
But beginning in the early 1230s, the Princes of Gwynedd had had started to gain the upper hand against the Anglo-Normans and Plantagenets who had taken territory in North Wales. Eventually by the late 1250s, the Welsh had reached Ewloe retaking lands up to the England–Wales border. A fortification had existed on or near the site since the Battle of Ewloe (Welsh: Brwydr Cwnsyllt) in 1157, when the Welsh successfully ambushed an English force under the command of Henry II (as they marched to Twthill at Rhuddlan). The English king only narrowly avoiding being killed himself having been rescued by Roger, Earl of Hertford.
Wepre Park is one of North Wales’ most popular destinations for family fun, however the Connah’s Quay beauty spot has a terrifying dark side...
The park has an illustrious past having once been part of the Wepre Hall estate, however nothing now remains of the hall now after it was demolished in the 1960s.
The grounds are also home to the remains of Ewloe Castle which was built by Welsh Prince Llywelyn ap Gruffudd in 1257.
But despite the picturesque surroundings, legend tells that the ancient woodland is a hive of paranormal activity and when darkness falls things go bump in the night.
The park has long had a reputation for being haunted with sightings including a floating Nun called Nora, a pack of spirit dogs, a singing woman, and even a phantom army complete with a headless horseman.Undoubtedly its most famous ghoul is Nora the Nun who is said to haunt the Rosie pool and has been spotted by dozens over the decades floating over the waterfall and in the castle grounds.
It’s thought that she drowned in the Rosie pool after giving birth to an illegitimate child and unable to live with herself threw the baby into the water.
While other popular stories say she had her head cut off after an affair with a monk or was possibly hit by a bomb near the waterfall.
Over the years people have described her as an “angry faceless nun” with some claiming to have heard her humming while walking across the top of the waterfall.John Williams from Connah’s Quay said: “I can remember seeing Nora one night during a midnight walk by the waterfall with my dog. My dog started whining and when I looked up I saw her floating across the waterfall and could faintly hear a humming noise. But then she vanished into thin air.”
It’s also claimed that a pack of ghost dogs roam the woods, which are said to come from a pet cemetery at the old Wepre Hall where generations of family dogs were buried with their own headstones.While others say that if you go down to the castle late at night when it’s stormy the sound of drumming and the noise of a marching of an army can be heard, with some even claiming to have felt the wind of passing horses.

A Lost World - the Fairy Toot long barrow in Somerset
The Fairy Toot is what remains of a great chambered long barrow near Nempnett Thrubwell, Butcombe, in the county of Somerset.
The name implies a link between the denizens of the underworld, fairies, and a toot, a name based on the Middle English word toten, to project, stick out - as does a mound or hill. We often read of toots and toot hills on English maps. At Rhuddlan, in Wales, the motte of the earlier castle is known as Twt Hill.
Sadly, following the barrow's opening in the late eighteenth century, much of it has been robbed for stones and little now remains save for its fossilised border at the edge of a large field.
Historic England states that the site, though much destroyed, still contains valuable information of interest, in particular in its (now buried) flanking ditches.
The Fairy Toot belongs to a class of long barrow called the Cotswold-Severn group, which includes such well known examples as Wayland's Smithy, West Kennet Long Barrow, and Tinkinswood.
Had it survived above ground, it would doubtless be one of the most magnificent to survive. Today, we are left with its evocative rural location and its ancient name - indicative of the supernatural - to remind us of the impact it once had on those who lived in these parts many years ago.
Intriguingly, the name of the nearest village, Nempnett Thrubwall, derives its name from the Celtic and Saxon words meaning the grove by the village well.

Caernarfon
Caernarfon is a royal town, community, and port in Gwynedd, Wales, with a population of 9,615. It lies along the A487 road, on the eastern shore of the Menai Strait, opposite the Isle of Anglesey. The city of Bangor is 8.6 miles to the north-east, while Snowdonia fringes Caernarfon to the east and south-east. Carnarvon and Caernarvon are Anglicised spellings that were superseded in 1926 and 1974, respectively.
Abundant natural resources in and around the Menai Straits enabled human habitation in the area during prehistory. The Ordovices, a Celtic tribe, lived in the region during classical antiquity. The Roman fort Segontium was established around AD 80 to subjugate the Ordovices during the Roman conquest of Britain. The Romans occupied the region until their departure in the 5th century, after which Caernarfon became part of the Kingdom of Gwynedd. In the late 11th century, William the Conqueror ordered the construction of a motte at Caernarfon as part of an attempt at conquering the region. He was unsuccessful, and Wales remained independent until around 1283.
