Surrounding Area
The historical town of Ruthin is situated in North Wales with its origins in the 13th century. The town was built on a red sandstone hill as a strategic lookout over the River Clwyd. Ruthin has over 700 years of recorded history, whose streets have been trodden by kings, queens, princes and travellers, its past suffered plague, battle and siege. Buildings reflect the best of architectural styles, making the town an outstanding conservation area worthy of preservation.
In the early 15th century the castle was held by Lord Grey, a gentleman who had made an enemy of one Owain Glyndwr by trying to acquire the Dee estates of the Welshman. When Glyndwr was ready to launch his bid for an independent Wales, Ruthin and Lord Grey became the 1st target. The attack surprised all and Ruthin was ravaged and burnt. The civil war saw Ruthin Castle resisting attack by parliamentary forces, who returned to besiege it 2 years later in 1646. The castle was destroyed by order of parliament.
