Denbigh Medieval Town is a substantial urban settlement of the late medieval period located in Denbighshire, North Wales. The town was established and developed from the late thirteenth century onwards, following the construction of Denbigh Castle by Henry de Lacy in 1282, which served as the focal point for urban expansion. The medieval town plan survives as an irregular street pattern centred on the castle, with evidence of burgage plots and commercial activity characteristic of a planned market settlement. The surviving fabric includes sections of the medieval town walls and various stone structures, representing an important example of Welsh medieval urban development within an English colonial framework.
