White Castle (Castell Gwyn) inner

The castle is pear-shaped and sits on a mound completely surrounded by a deep-cut moat, while the outer bailey lies at the front of the castle outside the moat.

A high curtain wall connects the castle’s six large, round towers. The two front towers form the 13th-century gatehouse and the 12th-century curtain apparently survives to its original height.

The gatehouse at White Castle rivals some of the most impressive Norman gatehouses in Wales.
