Open Doors - Denbigh Town Walls

The upper area of Denbigh town occupied the greater part of a 4.7 hectare walled enclosure crowning the summit of an isolated hill, with the castle at its highest southern end. The most dramatic section is on the east side where a spur wall descends from the Countess Tower to the shattered wreck of the Goblin Tower, which guarded the town's main water supply. This was the scene of fierce fighting during the siege of 1646. Earthworks at its foot may have been constructed by the defence or for the attack.

The 2026 Denbigh Open Doors Weekend launches on Friday 18th September 2026 with a self-drive Tour of the Vale followed by an evening lecture at Theatr Twm o'r Nant, “Restoring and repositioning Brookhouse Mill for the future”. Over the following two days, Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th September 2026, thirty historically important sites in the locale will be open to the public. This will be supplemented by children’s workshops, guided tours and an interactive show. A booking service for events with limited places will be available through Denbigh Library, closer to the weekend. Further information will be available www.darganfoddinbych.cymru and https://www.facebook.com/opendoorsdenbighshire
