Cardigan Castle changed hands during the Civil War. The Royalists initially controlled Cardiganshire but Parliamentary forces under Colonel Rice Powell gradually reduced the Royalist garrisons in west Wales. Cardigan's castle — on the Teifi — was one of the strategic points controlling the coastal route through west Wales. The castle ruins survive in the town centre.
