Domen Las Castle

Pennal, Gwynedd, north Wales

Domen Las was a Norman castle raised on the site of an earlier Roman fort. Local legend says that Welsh patriot Owain Glyndwr issued orders from the castle during his visit to the village and church in Penal in 1406. Today the castle rests peacefully on private farmland off a small lane leading to the Plas Talgarth resort.
