Prestatyn
Castle is a Norman stone motte and bailey fortress, but sadly nothing now remains
above the ground. The low motte is encased by a ditch and then surrounded by the
foundations of a curtain wall and towers. The motte is marked by a stone pillar
but ploughing has made the layout hard to observe. 5 miles south-west is Rhuddlan
Castle and 10 miles south-east is Holywell Castle.
Prestatyn Castle is located in the town centre, off Prestatyn Road. 26 miles north-west of Chester, on the A548.
The site is freely accessible in daylight hours, from a public footpath which runs off Prestatyn Road.
Car parking is by the side of the road.
