🏰 Rhuddlan Castle, North Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Built by Edward I between 1277 and 1282, overseen by master mason James of Saint George, Rhuddlan castle was planned as a concentric castle. It has a unique ‘diamond’ in layout as the gatehouses are positioned at the corners of the square baileys instead of along the sides like at Flint, Harlech and Beaumaris.

The inner ward has defensive walls with twin-tower gatehouses. The outer ward is surrounded by a curtain wall that has small towers and turrets.

The castle had a three-sided moat, with the River Clwyd protecting its fourth side. Within the inner ward there was a great hall, kitchens, private apartments and a chapel. The outer bailey had a granary, stables and a smithy.

During the fortification’s lengthy construction, the River Clwyd’s course was straightened and dredged to allow ships to sail inland along a man-made channel. Its purpose was to allow provisions and troops to reach the castle even if hostile forces or a siege prevented overland travel. 968 men to worked on what was called ‘The Great Ditch’, straightening the 3 mi (4.8 km) stretch of river that ran from the castle to the sea.
