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.
