Mold
Castle is a classic earthwork motte and bailey fortress, founded by Robert de
Montalt. The highest point of the ridge was scarped into a motte and excavations
near the base have found stone walls of a possible building. The two baileys lay
in-line to the south, as they drop down the slope. 2 miles south-east is Tyddyn
Mount.
Mold Castle is located in the town centre, at the top of High Street in a public park. 13 miles west of Chester on the A5104-A549-A541.
The site is freely accessible in daylight hours. Car parking is by the side of the road.
