Police appeal follows graffiti attack on castle

* Graffiti spray-painted onto the castle.

An appeal for information has been launched after vandals daubed graffiti onto Llangollen's historic castle.

Castell Dinas Bran, which sits on a hilltop above Llangollen, is popular with locals and tourists alike.

But the 13th century ancient monument has been defaced by paw prints being spray-painted onto it in red.

North Wales Police's Rural Crime Team say the Gate House wall of the site has been damaged by the vandals.

Castell Dinas Bran is looked after by CADW, the Welsh Government's historic environment service. They are aware of the incident and say they are working to rectify it. 

Officers are now appealing for witnesses to come forward and help identify those responsible.

A statement from the force read: "The team are appealing for any witnesses to the graffitiing of the Gate house of Castell Dinas Bran nr Llangollen.

"Cadw are aware of the damage and will take steps to rectify it. However if you have seen anything please contact the team on 101 or via webchat reference B035381."
