Owain Glyndŵr's uprising links Ceredigion with the wider political and military history of medieval Wales. Aberystwyth Castle and Strata Florida form part of that story, while places such as Machynlleth and Hyddgen lie in the wider mid Wales region. Keep modern county boundaries and historical territories distinct when planning a themed visit.
Castles, abbeys and political ambition
Aberystwyth Castle and Strata Florida were drawn into the conflict. Glyndŵr's parliament at nearby Machynlleth and his diplomatic efforts abroad reveal the wider ambitions behind the campaign.
Explore the surviving places
Combine the ruins at Aberystwyth and Strata Florida with a visit to the Dyfi Valley. The remote landscape around Hyddgen requires a properly planned mountain walk, suitable equipment and attention to conditions.
