Rhuddlan Castle , Wales
Rhuddlan Castle was built as one of the 'iron ring' of fortresses by the English monarch, Edward I, in his late 13th century campaigns against the Welsh. it was constructed between 1277 and 1282.
Rhuddlan is next to the River Clwyd. During the fortification's lengthy construction, the river course was straightened and dredged to allow ships to sail inland along a man-made channel. Its purpose was to allow provisions and troops to reach the castle even if hostile forces or a siege prevented overland travel.
