Ruthin Castle

You need look no further than Ruthin Castle (the "Red Fort"), which originally dates from before 1277 and dominates the historic Welsh countryside market town of Ruthin, close to Chester, Denbigh, Llangollen and within easy reach of the North Wales Coast, Snowdonia and picturesque Betws-y-Coed.

Many of the 62 bedrooms are comfortably large and each has its own individual personality. Most rooms enjoy views over the 30 acres of gardens, parkland and woods of the estate and towards the surrounding Welsh mountains (at times snow-capped in Winter). All bedrooms are within the main buildings and upper floors are served by lift.

The castle previously formed part of the Crown Estate until sold by Charles I in 1632 and sits in its ancient walled dry moat within acres of private landscaped gardens, parkland and woods alongside the River Clwyd.
