In this video we go in the search for the secret of Anglesey, the Norman fortress Castell Aberlleiniog (Castle of the Mouth of the Lleiniog), which is a little known scheduled ancient mounument on the Isle of Anglesey area of natural beauty. This secret castle of Aber Lleiniog was a motte and bailey fortress whose construction was overseen by Robert of Rhuddlan on behalf of Hugh D'Avranches of Chester in around 1088. The Prince of Gwynedd Gruffydd ap Cynan along with his raiding party of 120 men and 14 youths succeeded in burning the castle to the ground in around 1094. The Aberlleiniog Norman fotress was never to be a motte and bailey castle again. Some 500 years later, in around 1640, the castle was resurrected by Thomas Cheadle the Constable of Beaumaris who adapts the motte of Aberlleiniog. Aberlleiniog truly is a 'secret' castle, with many secrets still to be uncovered.
The Aberlleiniog Castle walk starts out from a small free car park, marked as Aberlleiniog Castle car park on Google Maps, in the village of Llangoed. From there we take a walk through the peaceful woodland Nature Reserve up to free to enter Castle Aberlleinoig. After exploring the castle we take take a walk to Lleiniog beach. Here we get super over to the Snowdonia mountain range and the Menai Straits.
