The Rhuddlan Royal Eisteddvod - the Procession to the Castle, 1850. Cultural event in Wales. The Castle ruins cover about two acres and a half; and the lofty western walls, covered with moss and ivy, have a very picturesque aspect...Over the ditch a wooden bridge has been erected for the visitors...Activity was visible on the roads - pedestrians from various towns within a circle of twenty miles, of all classes, were making their way to Rhuddlan, and every description of carriage...was put in requisition...The spacious and picturesque park, from which an exquisite view of Rhuddlan Castle may be found, was studded with peasantry; and the rooks, astonished at the braying of a distant brass band, took leave to keep up an obligato accompaniment, which the players industriously emulated in their impromptu tonality'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
