Dolbadarn Castle: The Welsh Prince’s Fortress Above Llanberis 4K Drone Footage & Narrated History

High above Llyn Padarn near Llanberis stands Dolbadarn Castle, one of the most striking surviving strongholds built by the native Princes of Gwynedd. In this video we explore the story of the castle from the time of Llywelyn the Great, through the imprisonment of Owain Goch, to the final conquest of Wales by Edward I. We also look at how Dolbadarn may once have appeared in the 13th century, including the great round keep, its internal floors, surrounding buildings and defensive walls. Later, timber from the castle was removed and taken for use at Edward’s new fortress at Caernarfon. With aerial views across Llyn Padarn and the mountains of Eryri, this is the story of a small Welsh castle with a remarkably important past. Some historical scenes shown are artistic AI-assisted reconstructions created for illustrative purposes.
