More about this scene

An earth and timber castle was established here by the Normans in 1110. After several attempts, the Welsh took it in 1165, rebuilt it in stone and held the first Eisteddfod within its walls in 1176. The bridge is on the site of a medieval one, near which Archbishop Baldwin held a service to attract volunteers for the third Crusade in 1188. The castle wall stands below the trees on the left, and beyond it is St Mary's Church, which stood near a medieval priory.
