Castell Bryn Gwyn

Castell Bryn Gwyn is located among open fields – but actually feels far more remote than it is. In actual fact, the site is only around a ten minute drive from the village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyll and, therefore, only a short journey from either of the two bridges. To reach Castell Bryn Gwyn, you can follow the A5, then the A4080 (Ffordd Brynsiencyn) for just over 6 miles, where you’ll come across a layby – this is the nearest parking for the site and you’ll need to walk the rest of the way. There is a working farm that uses these tracks for access, however, so be careful not to block it. If you follow the footpath that runs between the two hedgerows, you’ll reach the site in about five minutes.

It is worth bearing in mind that Castell Bryn Gwyn is a single site of historic interest, so it’s better to visit as part of a day of other activities – there are several prehistoric sites nearby, for example, such as Bryn Celli Ddu Burial Chamber, so it’s possible to visit a number of similar sites in a single day.
