The ruined walls of Deganwy Castle surmount a crag of Ordovician rhyolitic tuff. The original castle was of wood, but it was destroyed by the Welsh lest it fall to the English. The present walls are what remains of reconstruction by Henry III from 1245, although it was again destroyed by the Welsh in 1283.

Castell Deganwy Castle from the East. It is easy to see why a castle would have been built on these two rocky outcrops, although there is not much of it left now. In the far distance to the left you can see Penmon Point on Anglesey, and Puffin Island. On the right is the Great Orme.
