All photos by Jeremy Walker<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>The small village of Dolwyddelan in the Snowdonia National Park lies a few miles to the west of Betws-y-Coed on the A470, about 10-15 minutes away by car. The village, surrounded by hills covered in woodland and old slate-quarry workings, is not particularly photogenic, but nearby lies a gem of a location \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/https:\/\/www.google.co.uk\/maps\/@53.0468392,-3.9082581,10z\" target=\"_blank\">Dolwyddelan Castle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The castle is not a huge, multi-turreted, military edifice, the likes of which are seen at Conwy and Caernarfon, but is a small tower with a few ruined walls perched spectacularly on a hill overlooking the valley. Built by Llywelyn the Great for its strategic command of the valley and the traffic that passed along its trading routes, the castle and its views are a great location to explore, but more importantly, they make a fabulous photo location.<\/p>\n<p>There is an entrance fee payable at the farmhouse on the path up to the castle. Something also to bear in mind is that the path to the castle from the road is not a public footpath and the farmland around the castle is private. However, there are a couple of public paths with rights of way running near the castle walls from where excellent views can be had. There is also free parking just off the A470 some 150 metres west of the castle. The view from the car park is not bad if you have limited mobility and do not wish to walk too far.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_54692&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/zoom-lens-dolwyddelan-castle.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54692\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/zoom-lens-dolwyddelan-castle.jpg\" alt=\"zoom-lens---dolwyddelan-castle\" width=\"1000\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/06\/zoom-lens-dolwyddelan-castle.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/06\/zoom-lens-dolwyddelan-castle.jpg?resize=300,129 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/06\/zoom-lens-dolwyddelan-castle.jpg?resize=630,270 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/06\/zoom-lens-dolwyddelan-castle.jpg?resize=900,386 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/06\/zoom-lens-dolwyddelan-castle.jpg?resize=562,241 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">You don&#8217;t need any specialist kit &#8211; a standard zoom lens is a perfect choice<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Shooting advice<\/h2>\n<p>Dolwyddelan Castle is a great location at any time of the year. In winter, surrounded by snow-capped hills, there is a bleak and brooding feel to the landscape. In spring and summer, with early morning mists, a more ethereal and mystical mood can be had. The views from below the castle near the road can be striking and easily obtained, but my favourite views are from behind and slightly above the castle, looking down into a mist-filled valley at sunrise in late spring. If you are going to attempt the high view at sunrise, you will need the landowner\u2019s permission at the farmhouse. I\u2019ve never had a problem with this \u2013 the people there are very friendly and the farm is a B&amp;B, which is useful.<\/p>\n<p>The views of the castle are mostly wideangle-to-standard-lens images, or panoramas. Potentially, you can leave out longer lenses and make your camera bag lighter by carrying a 24-70mm or similar lens. However, a tripod and a set of graduated filters are essential.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_54691&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Dolwyddelan-castle.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54691\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Dolwyddelan-castle.jpg\" alt=\"Dolwyddelan-castle\" width=\"1000\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/06\/Dolwyddelan-castle.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/06\/Dolwyddelan-castle.jpg?resize=300,105 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/06\/Dolwyddelan-castle.jpg?resize=630,221 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/06\/Dolwyddelan-castle.jpg?resize=900,316 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/06\/Dolwyddelan-castle.jpg?resize=562,197 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">You&#8217;ll need the landowner&#8217;s permission to shoot from this vantage point<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Food and lodging<\/h2>\n<p>The farm below the castle is a traditional working Welsh sheep farm and the owners run the farmhouse as a B&amp;B, with rooms at very reasonable prices and an excellent breakfast.

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/06\/Dolwyddelan-castle-t.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-28 21:35:05","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54684"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54697,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54684\/revisions\/54697"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54684"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=54684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
