A rarity in Welsh and British history, Dolbadarn is a fine example of both a native-built Welsh castle and one possessing a round keep rather than the usual square.

Set against the spectacular backdrop of two lakes and the Snowdonia mountains, Dolbadarn must rank among the most underrated of all Welsh castles. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
