Large castle with some well preserved parts and good views. Good information boards around, a decent centre and cafe within the grounds, plenty of parking (free), large open spaces, and a few bits to explore. Staff were lovely, and in good weather this is a lovely castle to wander around.

Firstly the town of Denbigh is lovely with very steep narrow roads to get to the castle but beautiful houses on the trip up. The sat nav takes you to the bottom of the castle with a few parking spaces but more at the left side near a high wall. There is also a car park relatively near the castle for easier access. A lovely walk past a ruined church with info boards and then through the impressive entrance with sounds to greet you as you arrive. Super historic place with info boards depicting its story. You can climb stairs to move through the ruins and have brilliant views over the town and surrounding countryside. A lovely picnic area sitting on the walls or outside the shop. A child's paradise roaming through ruined corridors up and down stairs ( complete with wooden swords purchased from the shop) I found it a lovely place for quiet reflection sitting on a wall viewing the wild flowers. Super shop with lovely unusual gifts also coffee etc machine with biscuits, snacks and amazing selection of ice creams. Seating and history displays with hands on activities in the shop. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable.....Can while away a good few hours visiting and chatting. My quest was...."is it haunted?" ask about this but stand quietly in the main entrance corridor areas.....
Visited Saturday morning, nice and quiet. Great views of the surrounding area. Lots of ruins to explore, very interesting. Staff polite and helpful.
Most of the castle is ruined, hence the 3 star rating. The rating is for the good view around it and for the gift shop for kids. I wouldn't recommend it coming here. i would suggest other castles like Conwy.
Beautiful historic structure, looks even more amazing when lit up at night, especially in the Welsh colours. \udb40\udc67\udb40\udc62\udb40\udc77\udb40\udc6c\udb40\udc73\udb40\udc7f
Lovely castle, nice to walk the grounds. I was the only one there yet the Welsh government hav decided to close this castle and all other outdoor attractions from tomorrow. Puzzled as out in the open air and as nobody else was there why this is a threat to public health!
Fantastic castle to explore but also relax. Doesn't take long to walk around. Lots of open space for children / dogs to play and adults to relax. Cute little cafe & gift shop. Amazing views too!
Well presented and interesting ruins of the castle. Staff well prepared for current Corona precautions. It was a beautiful day today and the castle and views were amazing. Only issues were that there isn't a lot of information on the castle without buying a book and the Town Walls are currently closed due to stone Mason work.
