The historical details of this castle are not very clear, but it is believed to have been built in 1275 by Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. Whereas the large well-known castles of North Wales were built by the English King Edward I, this is a good example of a Welsh castle. For an excellent website and better pictures, see http://www.castlewales.com/ewloe.html The castle is now part of Wepre park and they are both well worth a visit, and free.
