Description
The terrace wall at the main front of Bodelwyddan Castle is a retaining wall made of local limestone, featuring a moulded coping. It runs from near the north-east entrance of the Castle along the north-east and south-east sides, ending close to the maze in the formal garden. There are steps leading down to a field on the north side and a gateway to a field on the south side. At the corners on the north-east side, there are open-backed miniature castellated towers.
