MenuOld Hawarden Castle, Flintshire
Old Hawarden Castle (aka Hawarden Old Castle) is a mediæval castle near Hawarden, Flintshire. Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester established a Norman motte and irregular bailey castle on the site. It was entirely destroyed by Llewelyn the Last in 1265, the present buildings constitute its successor. It was attacked by Llewelyn's brother Dafydd in 1282 during the latter's rising. The castle saw much action in the first Civil War and was slighted by order of parliament in 1647. It was consolidated as a ruin by the Glynnes, the owners from 1653. Restoration was carried out by George Shaw in the 1860s and by R.S. Weir in the 1920s. Its ruins are on the New Hawarden Castle estate. It is within the council area of Flintshire.
