Deganwy Castle (Medieval Latin: Arx Deganhui;[1] Middle Welsh: Caer Ddegannwy; Modern Welsh: Castell Degannwy) was an early stronghold of Gwynedd in Deganwy, at the mouth of the River Conwy in Conwy, north Wales. It sits at an elevation of 110 m (361 ft) on a volcanic plug[2] in an area of limestone known as the Vardre.
