The Old Castle is a nationally important, Grade I listed monument, which is only open for a handful of days each year. Explore this historic site and take in breathtaking views across Hawarden Estate, North Wales and the Cheshire Plains.

All children must be accompanied.

Paths up to the Old Castle are steep and uneven.

Dogs are welcome on leads.

All Old Castle open day ticket proceeds go to a charity chosen by our team. This time it will be donated to Tŷ Gobaith. Tŷ Gobaith, based in Conwy, North Wales, cares for babies, children and young adults up to the age of 25 years with life-threatening conditions. Ty Gobaith is a ‘home from home’ for many children and young people who are sadly suffering from life-threatening conditions and are heading into the final stages of their lives.
