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 2024 Denbigh Open Doors Weekend launches Friday 20th September 2024 with a geology evening lecture at the Theatr Twm o'r Nant. Over the following two days, Saturday and Sunday 21st and 22nd September 2024 from 10am to 5pm, around thirty historically important sites in the locale will be open to the public, supplemented by children’s workshops and guided tours. A booking service for the sites/workshops and guided tours offering a limited number of places will be available through Denbigh Library, closer to the start of the weekend.
Further information will be available on www.visitdenbigh.co.uk; https://twitter.com/OpenDoors_D and https://www.facebook.com/opendoorsdenbighshire/
