Montgomery Castle

Rising from the craggy outcrop above the town are the ruins of Montgomery Castle, a 13th-century fortress with its most famous moment occurring in 1267 when, during treaty negotiations here, Henry III granted Llywelyn ap Gruffydd the title of Prince of Wales. Few remains survive today, but the views over the chequerboard countryside are beautiful.
